The Tamiya JR Great Emperor Premium returns the iconic 1991 silhouette with updated parts on the Super-II chassis. Released for the Mini 4WD series anniversary, the kit gives hobbyists a compact platform that honours the original while adding current material choices.
The model's white bodywork echoes classic race car styling and benefits from removable wing sections up front and rear. These parts make it simple to adjust downforce and clearance depending on your preferred track approach.
Produced in sturdy ABS plastic and finished in dark gray, the Super-II chassis prioritises lateral rigidity for consistent cornering. Red A parts are included to strengthen key points and provide a classic colour contrast.
The stock Type 130 motor and 3.5:1 gearing provide a balanced starting point. Upgrades to higher-spec Type 130 motors, different gear ratios or varied tyre compounds let you tune acceleration and top speed for race day.
The snap-fit assembly lowers the barrier to entry for new builders. The kit includes gold small-diameter 3-spoke wheels and grooved black tyres that deliver steady traction on standard Mini 4WD tracks.
Tamiya JR Great Emperor Premium mixes period charm with a chassis that invites tuning, making it a solid choice for those who want a compact racer with upgrade potential.
