The Dash-1 Emperor Premium from Tamiya brings a classic 1988 Mini 4WD profile back to life on the versatile Super-II chassis. It is designed for hobbyists who value both vintage styling and hands-on tuning options.
The kit retains the iconic lines in white ABS, echoing rally car heritage. A sticker sheet is included so model-makers can personalise the finish before hitting the track.
The Super-II chassis uses black ABS for a good balance of strength and adaptability, favoured by racers for upgrade potential. Blue A-parts and a locking gear cover add practical assembly features and visual contrast.
Equipped with a 4.2:1 gear set and large slick tyres, the Dash-1 Emperor Premium focuses on speed and stable cornering. It accepts many Grade-Up Parts, such as upgraded motors, specialised tyres and weight tuning to suit different surfaces.
The kit includes a Type 130 motor and requires two AA batteries which are not supplied. Assembly is largely snap-fit, making it suitable for newcomers while still providing upgrade options for experienced pilots. It conforms to standard Mini 4WD track formats.
For those who want a period look with a modern tuning base, the Tamiya Dash-1 Emperor Premium offers a strong mix of style and practical upgrade paths for competitive Mini 4WD racing.
