About the Dancing Divine Doll model
The Tamiya 18651 Dancing Divine Doll channels the spirit of "Hyper Dash! Yonkuro" into a compact Mini 4WD racer. Its mix of authentic styling and practical engineering makes it a popular choice for enthusiasts who enjoy both display and competition.
Bodywork and design influences
Designed by Hiroyuki Takei, the shell adopts a classic racing silhouette. The red body shell is paired with metallic stickers in red and brown shades plus lilac accents, giving the car a vivid, race-ready finish while nodding to its source material.
Midship AERO chassis layout
Using the MA (Midship AERO) chassis, this model benefits from a central motor position that helps balance weight and reduce aerodynamic drag. The monocoque construction makes the chassis sturdy yet simple to assemble and service.

Modding and upgrade pathways
The MA platform supports a wide range of modifications. Swap in higher-spec motors, tweak gear ratios, try alternative tyres, or add ballast and dampers to tune handling for different track layouts and conditions.
Build notes and running essentials
The kit is built as a snap-fit assembly, simplifying construction. Key components include an Olive Gray ABS chassis and Purple low-friction POM A parts for durability. It ships with a Type 130 double shaft motor and needs two AA batteries to operate, which are sold separately.
Thanks to its balance of period-accurate looks and a flexible MA chassis, the Tamiya 18651 Dancing Divine Doll is well suited to hobbyists who like to personalise their Mini 4WD cars.
