Tamiya 19436 Shining Scorpion Premium Retro-Inspired Mini 4WD Kit  [19436]

Shining Scorpion Premium - Model Summary

The Tamiya Shining Scorpion Premium (19436) is a compact 1/32 Mini 4WD kit influenced by the "Let's & Go Special" anime. Its blend of showy livery and practical chassis design appeals to racers and collectors alike.

Shell Shape and Design Notes

The bodywork mimics performance car aerodynamics, with low nose lines and swept surfaces to reduce air resistance. Eye-catching decals and vivid paint options evoke the model's anime heritage while helping with identification during heats.

Engineering of the Super-II Chassis

Underneath sits the Super-II chassis, built from durable ABS in a light gun metal shade. Functional pieces like the rear stay and battery holder are made in medium blue, while side stays and stabiliser components use red to make upgrades visible and serviceable.

Race-Ready Modification Routes

There is plenty to tweak on the Shining Scorpion Premium. The Type 130 motor fits standard gear trains, and you can fit high-speed combinations such as the EX counter gear at 3.7:1 for circuits favouring velocity. The 26mm low-profile dark blue tyres and yellow 5-spoke wheels deliver balanced grip for most track surfaces.

Setup Advice and Part Compatibility

Thanks to the Super-II layout, the kit accepts a wide selection of Tamiya performance parts. Builders often try stronger motors, alternate tyre compounds, and refined gearing to match specific track types. The assembly remains straightforward for hobbyists moving into tuning.

With its attractive looks and upgrade-friendly Super-II base, the Tamiya Shining Scorpion Premium is a capable platform for both display builds and competitive tuning.
