Tamiya 18074 JR Dash-X1 Proto Emperor Premium Mini 4WD Super II Chassis Kit - Off-Road Friendly Retro  [18074]

Background and Styling

The Tamiya JR Dash-X1 Proto Emperor takes cues from the Dash! Yonkuro era, delivering a retro coupe body that appeals to collectors and racers alike. Its bold styling works well on display and in race lineups.

Super-II Platform Overview

Fitted with the Super-II chassis, the Proto Emperor benefits from a platform known for tunability. Reinforced ABS construction keeps weight reasonable while offering structural integrity during spirited runs. The black base and purple A-parts give it a striking contrast.

Core Super-II Benefits

• Forced strength from reinforced ABS construction
• Compatible with many standard upgrade parts
• Comes with a Type 130 motor for immediate use
• Uses a 4.2:1 gear ratio for versatile performance

How to Upgrade Performance

There is plenty of scope to tailor the car to different tracks. You can fit faster motors, experiment with tyre profiles and change gearing to tune acceleration versus top speed. Adding ballast or small dampers can help on bumpy circuits.

Tuning Pointers

• Consider a Torque Tuned motor to boost acceleration
• Low-profile tyres often improve handling on twisty tracks
• Adjust gear ratios to match your local track layout

Assembly Tips

Assembly is approachable for hobbyists at all levels. Parts are designed to line up accurately, promoting quick setup and modification. The kit contains a new decal sheet so you can personalise your finish.

The Tamiya JR Dash-X1 Proto Emperor offers a pleasing vintage look with a tuneable Super-II chassis, making it a versatile pick for hobby racers who want a balance of display appeal and upgrade potential.
