Overview of the Dash-01 Super Emperor

The Tamiya Dash-01 Super Emperor revisits classic Mini 4WD themes while upgrading to the MS platform. It pairs a throwback body shape with a chassis that supports sensible performance enhancements for racers and collectors alike.

Retro Buggy Profile

Presenting a playful off-road buggy silhouette, the Dash-01 Super Emperor preserves the original charm in a precisely molded shell. The rear windshield area can be opened up to cut weight if you are aiming for lighter race setups.

Why the MS Chassis Stands Out

The MS chassis offers a modular layout and accepts double-shaft motors, creating a stable base for tuning. It is compatible with common upgrade parts so you can tailor balance and handling to suit different track surfaces.

Tuning Choices for Track Performance

  • Motors: Choose a torque-focused motor for twisty tracks or a speed motor for straights.
  • Tires: Try different compounds and profiles to match grip levels.
  • Gears: Change gear ratios to prioritise acceleration or top speed.
  • Dampers: Add dampers to smooth out bumpy sections and improve control.

These tuning options let the Dash-01 Super Emperor perform across a variety of circuit types, from technical layouts to faster tracks.

Assembly Tips

The snap-fit kit is built for easy assembly without glue, which helps new builders get started quickly. Experienced modders will appreciate the straightforward layout for installing upgrades and making adjustments.

The Tamiya Dash-01 Super Emperor offers a pleasant mix of classic styling and modern tuning potential. It is suitable for hobbyists who want a customizable Mini 4WD that still holds nostalgic appeal.

Yes. Choose softer tyres for carpet and harder, low-profile tyres for high-grip plastic surfaces to get better lap times on each surface.
The MS layout gives easy access to gears and the motor, making routine checks and parts swaps straightforward at the pits.
Check tyre wear, roller alignment and gear mesh. Tighten any loose screws and look for body clips or tabs that may need trimming after the first few runs.
