Dash-01 Super Emperor in Focus

The Tamiya Dash-01 Super Emperor brings a vintage Mini 4WD vibe to the MS chassis platform. It mixes an iconic body design with a modern chassis that supports a range of tuning options for competitive running.

Heritage Off-Road Styling

The car carries a retro off-road buggy look, recreating the distinctive lines of the original. The rear windshield area can be altered to cut unnecessary mass and improve performance for race conditions.

MS Chassis Advantages

The MS chassis features modular construction and fits double-shaft motors, giving a predictable and tuneable foundation. Its compatibility with popular Grade-Up Parts makes it easy to upgrade handling and power delivery.

  • Motors: Fit torque or speed variants depending on the course profile.
  • Tires: Experiment with tyre widths and compounds for grip changes.
  • Gears: Swap gear sets to refine acceleration versus top speed.

With deliberate upgrades the Dash-01 Super Emperor handles a wide variety of track formats, improving competitiveness in club and local races.

Construction Notes

The snap-fit construction avoids glue and simplifies assembly, making it a convenient choice for hobbyists. Builders can quickly set up a running car and then focus on performance parts and setup tweaks.
