The Tamiya Z Wing-Magnum arrives from designer Tetsuhiro Koshita and celebrates the "Let's & Go!" legacy. Released for the franchise anniversary, it rides on the AR Chassis which favours aerodynamics and a clean layout for modifications.
The model's ABS body combines crisp surface detail with a front intake designed to aid cooling at speed. Its silhouette reflects the original cartoon look while remaining robust for repeated racing sessions.
The AR platform prioritises straight-line stability and accessible maintenance. With room for typical Mini 4WD upgrades and a stock 130 motor included, the chassis is a good starting point for custom builds.
Common upgrades include swapping motors for different torque curves, fitting alternative tyre compounds, and selecting gear ratios to match circuit demands. The standard 3.5:1 gearing is versatile for both sprint and endurance events.
As a snap-fit kit it needs few tools to complete. Builders often trim or reshape the front cowl to improve airflow and create a unique finish that nods to the original design.
The Tamiya Z Wing-Magnum is well suited to hobbyists who want a balance of nostalgic styling and modern tuning options for competitive Mini 4WD play.
