JR Dash-X1 Proto Emperor Mounted on the VS Chassis

The Tamiya 94708 - JR Dash-X1 Proto Emperor comes fitted to the VS chassis and uses reinforced polycarbonate ABS resin for the body to improve durability on the track. Originally a 1990 body parts release, the 2005 retool gives this model a cleaner fit and preserved period looks for collectors and racers alike.

Chassis Traits and Wheel Setup

The VS chassis is prized for being light yet robust, providing a stable base for tuning. Included are narrow, large-diameter wheels with a silver-plated finish and arched tires that aid traction across different surfaces. The kit ships with 16mm rollers and a Type 130 motor, producing a 4.2:1 gear ratio for balanced performance.

Upgrade Path and Performance Tweaks

Builders can tailor performance with many Tamiya options such as reinforced propeller shafts, hardened gear shafts and alternative motors. These upgrades help refine cornering, top speed and drivetrain durability for competitive racing conditions.

  • Dimensions: Length 146mm, Width 92mm, Height 49mm

Use two R6/AA/UM3 cells; many racers prefer high-drain rechargeable AAs for consistent voltage during heats, while others choose fresh alkaline for single runs.
Yes, the kit is well suited to practice sessions. Its VS chassis responds predictably to roller placement, gear choice and tyre selection, making it a good learning platform.
