The Tamiya Ray Spear (VZ) showcases a modern body concept from the designer behind models like the Dual Ridge Jr. and DCR-01. The shell emphasises low drag and agile behaviour on typical Mini 4WD circuits.
Constructed in clear green ABS, the body includes a removable canopy so you can run it as an open cockpit or closed body. It rides on dark silver spiral type 6-spoke wheels fitted with black, small diameter super hard low-profile tyres for a sharp, low-profile look.
The VZ chassis is designed to be compact yet sturdy, with reinforcements at the bumper and rear stay base to resist impact. Low-friction POM 620 plastic bearings are used to keep drivetrain losses down, and the kit ships with a 3.5:1 gear ratio as standard.
A wide selection of Grade-Up Parts can be fitted to tailor handling and speed. Swapping motors, adjusting gears, and trying different tyre compounds are common ways to tune the Ray Spear for local club tracks.
The kit comes with colour-moulded parts to make construction straightforward. It includes a Type 130 motor and requires two AA batteries, which must be bought separately.
Tamiya Ray Spear (VZ) mixes aerodynamic styling with an adaptable chassis. Its upgrade potential makes it a great platform for racers who like to experiment with setup.
