Mini 4WD Kit - Tamiya 95296 Dash-1 Emperor Black Special with MS Chassis  [95296]

Overview of the Dash-1 Emperor Black Special

The Tamiya 95296 Dash-1 Emperor Black Special brings back a familiar Mini 4WD silhouette with updated production. Built on the MS Chassis, this kit appeals to hobbyists who like to customise for circuit performance and visual flair.

Shell layout and visual elements

The smoke-tinted ABS body gives a purposeful, streamlined look while the included decals allow you to tailor the livery. The set features narrow silver wheels of larger diameter and arched black tyres for a purposeful racing stance.

What the MS chassis offers

The MS platform is designed for modular adjustments with removable N-02 nose and T-01 tail units to help riders tune handling. Chassis and A parts are injection moulded in fluorescent yellow ABS for durability and clear part recognition.

How to tune for track conditions

There is room for serious tuning on this model. The MS chassis works with double shaft motors and allows swapping gears, tyres and motor choices to match different circuits. Balancing weight and adding dampers will improve control around corners and over jumps.

Build advice and tools

Snap-fit construction keeps the build simple. Essential tools include a small Phillips screwdriver and plastic modelling nippers. Paint is optional but can be used to personalise the shell.

Tamiya 95296 Dash-1 Emperor Black Special suits tuners and collectors who value a reliable MS chassis and styling that stands out on the shelf or the track.
