The Tamiya 18082 - JR Daihatsu Kopen XMZ turns a bold concept design into a compact 1/32 Mini 4WD racer, offering a mix of style and practical race engineering. Its show-car origins give it a modern silhouette while remaining builder friendly.
The model sports a sharp, forward-looking body with removable panels for different visual setups. The red ABS moulding captures interior cues like seats and dash detail to give a convincing tiny cockpit.
At its core the Super 2 chassis combines predictable handling with upgrade potential, taking a single-shaft 130 motor and delivering consistent performance on typical Mini 4WD circuits.
Racers can fit upgraded motors, swap tyres and change gearing to suit track demands. The chassis also accepts added weights and damping parts, allowing fine adjustments to improve lap times.
Assembly calls for basic tools like a small Phillips screwdriver and plastic modelling side cutters. The snap-fit parts make the build accessible, and two AA batteries are needed to power the car.
The Tamiya 18082 - JR Daihatsu Kopen XMZ suits hobbyists who want a showpiece with real tuning potential. Its Super 2 chassis is a solid starting point for competitive setup work.
