The Tamiya Jr Cross Spear 02 on the VZ chassis delivers off-road looks and a clear upgrade path. It is suited to hobbyists who enjoy setup work and want a robust base for experimenting with speed and handling changes.
The Cross Spear 02 uses Sand Yellow ABS for a rugged appearance. The light smoke tinted canopy removes quickly for an open cockpit look or stays fitted for a sleeker profile. The truss sections tie the body to the cowling for added stiffness while keeping mass down.
Built in Metallic Gray and Light Gray ABS, the VZ chassis is sturdy and accepts a range of upgrades. It is a good starting point for swapping motors, tyres, and gears to match different circuit types.
The kit comes with a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, along with Y-spoke red wheels and small-diameter super hard black low-profile tyres. Low-friction POM 620 plastic bearings are included to help the car roll smoothly at racing speeds.
Snap-fit construction makes the build approachable, and the removable driver figure allows for a cleaner cockpit if desired. The assembled model is compatible with standard Mini 4WD tracks used in organised races and casual meetups.
With a stable VZ chassis and adaptable bodywork, the Jr Cross Spear 02 is an excellent kit for builders who want a reliable platform to refine their race setups.
