Tamiya 18104 - Jr Cross Spear 02 on the VZ chassis: A small but capable Mini 4WD

The Tamiya Jr Cross Spear 02 mounted on the VZ chassis presents an attractive mix of style and tunability. Its compact footprint and clear upgrade path make it a popular choice for racers who like to adjust setup between events.

Styled for off-road appeal

The body adopts a rugged buggy theme in Sand Yellow ABS. The tinted light smoke canopy is removable, so you can run an open look or a closed cockpit for improved airflow. The truss-style joiners reinforce the shell while keeping weight low.

VZ platform built for modifications

The VZ chassis provides a reliable, upgrade-friendly base. Constructed in Metallic Gray and Light Gray ABS, it accepts common motor and tyre swaps as well as gearing changes to suit varying track profiles.

Factory gearing and wheel setup

This kit ships with a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, paired with Y-spoke red wheels and super hard small-diameter black low-profile tyres. Included POM 620 plastic bearings help reduce rolling friction on straights.

Straightforward build and broad compatibility

Assembly is approachable thanks to snap-fit parts and clear instructions. The driver figure detaches if you prefer a sleeker cockpit, and the finished model works on most Mini 4WD circuits without alteration.

Specifications

  • Body Style: Off-Road Buggy
  • Motor Compatibility: Type 130
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1

The Jr Cross Spear 02 offers a user-friendly platform for tuning sessions, giving hobbyists a strong starting point for both street-style setup work and race day tweaks.

Wheels, tyres, and the Type 130 motor are straightforward swaps. Adjusting gear ratio is also a common tuning route to match acceleration and top speed to the track layout.
Yes, running the canopy closed can improve airflow over the body and slightly affect stability at speed. The removable canopy lets you test both setups easily.
The supplied POM 620 plastic bearings are a low-friction option for casual runs. For more consistent lap times, many racers choose metal bearings as an upgrade.
