Retro-inspired Tamiya 18089 - Mini 4WD Pig Racer Super-II Kit  [18089]

Overview of the Tamiya Mini 4WD Pig Racer Super-II kit

The Tamiya Mini 4WD Pig Racer mixes a cheeky aesthetic with practical Mini 4WD engineering. The model's open-top buggy silhouette and pig figure add character without sacrificing the core racing traits that hobbyists value.

Visuals and body character

The Pig Racer's pink paint and playful contours make it easy to spot on the grid. Its open Super Astute style body hints at agility, and the sticker sheet supplies multiple graphic options so you can dial in a personal look for club events.

Super-II chassis features

Built on the Super-II platform, this kit gives a sturdy foundation for handling upgrades. White resin construction combines with fluorescent pink pieces for the battery holder, rear stay and rollers. The slim 5-spoke wheels and arched large-diameter tyres help maintain traction through corners.

Performance tuning and upgrades

There is plenty of scope to improve performance: try a motor with different torque characteristics, test alternative tyres for surface grip, or refine roller placement to lower friction and improve lap times.

Build experience and guidance

With straightforward snap-together parts, assembly suits newcomers and experienced builders who want to concentrate on setup tweaks rather than complex construction.

The Tamiya 18089 - Mini 4WD Pig Racer Super-II Kit is ideal for modders who enjoy a quirky shell combined with a chassis that responds well to tuning and upgrades.
