Overview of the Proto-Emperor Premium Black Special

The Tamiya Proto-Emperor Premium Black Special channels classic Dash! Yonkuro motifs with a deep black shell and gold decal highlights. It is aimed at enthusiasts who want a vintage look combined with a race-capable Super-II chassis for hands-on tuning.

Design cues and construction

The body is produced in Black PS, delivering a lightweight yet durable shell. Metallic sticker details accentuate the contours and give the model a distinct retro racing presence, suitable for display or competition.

Super-II chassis highlights

The Super-II chassis refines the Super 1 blueprint by adding a stronger bumper assembly, a rear stay secured via rotating switches, and a cover fastened with screws for increased rigidity. The Yellow ABS molding contributes to a tough but manageable chassis platform.

Tuning paths for track performance

Stock setup uses a Type 130 motor and a 4.2:1 gear ratio that makes the car ready to run. Performance can be improved by swapping motors, fitting ball bearings, using lightweight hollow tyres or changing gear sets to suit track layout.

Practical compatibility tips

This kit fits standard Mini 4WD circuit formats. The combo of large-diameter narrow wheels with yellow arched tyres gives consistent traction and helps maintain stability through fast sections.

Tamiya's Proto-Emperor Premium Black Special blends nostalgic styling with a robust Super-II chassis, giving builders a strong starting point for both collecting and upgrading for races.

The Super-II improves structural points over earlier chassis with screw-fastened covers and reinforced bumper zones, designed to withstand competitive running and allow tuning changes.
Common effective upgrades include higher performance motors, precision bearings, and lighter tyres. Adjusting gear ratio to match track layout also helps reduce lap times.
Basic modelling tools, small screwdrivers and side cutters are sufficient. A hobby knife and fine files speed up trimming, while a set of small metric spanners helps with precise assembly.
Yes, the chassis supports Mini 4WD-specific bearings which reduce friction and can improve speed and consistency when installed on axles and gears.
