Honda e Mini 4WD on a compact VZ chassis

This Tamiya Honda e Mini 4WD replicates the modern EV profile and mounts it on the compact VZ chassis. The kit is aimed at builders who want a tidy base car that responds well to tuning and race setup changes.

Painted body and decal choices

The bright Yellow ABS body captures the model's urban style and the sticker set gives you flexibility for race numbers and personal detailing. Dish wheels and low-profile tyres keep weight low and the bodyline aerodynamic.

VZ chassis construction and strength points

The VZ layout prioritises compactness and low mass while reinforcing impact-prone areas such as the bumper and rear stay base. Chassis and A parts in Black ABS deliver a resilient structure for competitive use.

Performance upgrades and drivetrain details

To tailor the car to different formats you can change motors, tyres, gears and dampers. The included Type 130 motor is positioned at the rear and runs with a 3.5:1 gear ratio. Low-friction POM 620 bearings reduce drivetrain drag for better lap consistency.

Assembly advice and battery info

The snap-fit kit needs two AA batteries, which are not included. The build is approachable for new modelers and gives experienced racers an easy platform for setup work and part swaps.

As a base for tuning, the Honda e on the VZ chassis gives hobbyists a sensible mix of aesthetics and adjustability for club or home track use.

Many start with tyres and bearings to improve grip and reduce rolling resistance. From there, motor and gear choices follow based on track length.
The ABS body can be painted with compatible hobby paints. Test colours on a spare section and use proper masking for decals.
POM 620 plastic bearings are common in Mini 4WD kits. You can replace them with compatible low-friction alternatives if desired.
Yes, with suitable upgrades and setup this kit is race eligible at many club events that accept Mini 4WD models on VZ or similar chassis types.
Regular checks for gear wear, bearing condition and proper lubrication will keep the drivetrain running smoothly. Replace worn parts promptly to avoid performance loss.
