Inspecting the Tamiya Pig Racer on Super-II underpinnings

The Tamiya Mini 4WD Pig Racer combines a fun, cartoon-inspired body with the practical Super-II platform. The open-top buggy look and pig figure add a playful touch while the model remains focused on reliable on-track performance.

Design cues and appearance

The pig-themed pink shell and exposed cockpit create a memorable silhouette. The Super Astute inspired body shape suggests agility, and decals included with the kit let you customise graphics to suit your style.

Underbody and chassis build

The Super-II chassis provides a durable foundation and scope for modification. Standard white resin parts pair with fluorescent pink components for the battery holder, rear stay and rollers. Narrow five-spoke wheels and arched tyres deliver an effective balance of traction and cornering stability.

How to upgrade for better lap times

Runners chasing lap improvements often swap motors for different torque curves, experiment with tyre profiles and compounds, or adjust roller placement to reduce friction while maintaining stability through turns.

Assembly notes for builders

Assembly is straightforward with snap-fit construction, making this kit accessible to newcomers yet flexible enough for experienced racers to concentrate on setup and fine tuning.
