Classic Dash-X1 Proto Emperor on the VS Chassis

The Tamiya 94708 - JR Dash-X1 Proto Emperor is presented on the VS chassis and uses reinforced polycarbonate ABS resin for improved toughness on the circuit. Initially released as a body parts set in 1990, the 2005 tooling update modernised the fit while keeping the original styling cues.

Design Highlights and Running Components

The VS chassis offers a lightweight yet firm foundation that suits both practice and competition. This kit includes narrow large-diameter wheels with a silver-plated look and arched tyres that enhance grip. Standard items include 16mm rollers and the Type 130 motor set to a 4.2:1 gear ratio for a balanced speed-to-control profile.

Modifications and Tamiya Option Parts

Performance can be improved using a range of Tamiya option parts such as upgraded propeller shafts, stronger gear shafts and alternative motors. These modifications help increase reliability, handling precision and outright pace depending on setup choices.

  • Scale: 1/32
  • Dimensions: Length 146mm, Width 92mm, Height 49mm
  • Material: Reinforced polycarbonate ABS resin
  • Motor: Type 130
You will need two R6/AA/UM3 batteries and a motor if you plan to swap from the stock Type 130; otherwise the kit includes the motor but batteries are sold separately.
Typical first changes are upgrading rollers for smoother cornering, fitting reinforced shafts and trying a tuned motor to match track layout and driver preference.
Arched tyres reduce contact patch slightly for quicker turn-in, which can improve cornering speed on smoother tracks while trading a bit of straight-line traction.
