Retro Shell Meets a Tunable Mini 4WD Base

The Panda Racer 2 channels classic racecar character in its compact Mini 4WD form. The body is moulded in eye-catching red and supplied with stickers so you can customise the appearance to taste.

Super-II Chassis: Flexible Tuning Platform

The Super-II chassis beneath the body is respected for its rigidity and adaptability. It provides a reliable platform for fitting upgraded motors, wheels and gearing to suit different track types.

Key Features and Customization Potential

  • Chassis Type: Super-II
  • Motor Compatibility: Designed for use with standard 130 single-shaft motors
  • Body Style: Retro-Inspired Racer
  • Wheel Type: Plated fin spoke wheels with low-profile tires
  • Racing Customization Potential: High, with options for motor, tire, and gear upgrades

Builders can fit higher-torque motors, change tyre compounds for more grip, and refine gear ratios to extract better lap times on twisty or high-speed tracks.

Assembly and Setup Advice

Construction uses many snap-fit components, making the kit accessible while still rewarding for those who enjoy dialing in performance tweaks and balancing weight.

With its nostalgic styling and upgrade-friendly Super-II chassis, the Panda Racer 2 makes a satisfying project for both display and racing use.

Common upgrades include higher performance 130 motors, low-profile grippy tyres, and fine-pitch gears to suit circuit demands.
The plated fin spoke wheels come with low-profile tyres that are fine for casual racing, but many racers swap tyres for better traction on specific surfaces.
Most parts are snap-fit and do not require glue, though some modelers use small amounts of adhesive for permanent mounts or reinforced areas.
