Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle Retro Pickup Type 3 Kit  [17501]

Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle Type 3 low-slung pickup

The Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle blends classic American pickup styling with the compact engineering of the Type 3 chassis. As part of the Wild Mini 4WD family, it is aimed at modellers who enjoy period looks and neat, low-profile builds for display or casual track use.

Frame details and visual features

The Type 3 chassis gives a compact, balanced base that supports reliable rolling while keeping the profile low. The rear bumper is designed to accept roller fittings and the chassis includes an exhaust-like body catch for extra scale fidelity. The kit uses metal-look spoke wheels with slick tyres to complete the lowered theme.

Construction and modification options

Thanks to snap-fit construction, the Sunny-Shuttle is accessible to newcomers while still offering upgrade paths for experienced builders. A Type 130 motor is included for dependable operation, and many Grade Up Parts can be fitted to enhance speed, stability, or appearance. Decals are provided for finishing touches.
