Tamiya 95603 Hurricane Sonic Polycarbonate Body Special AR Chassis Mini 4WD 30th Anniversary - track-ready special  [95603]

What the Hurricane Sonic special offers

The Tamiya 95603 Hurricane Sonic Polycarbonate Body Special honours 30 years of the Fully Cowled Mini 4WD family, merging classic lines with modern construction. The kit brings together a transparent polycarbonate body and the performance-oriented AR chassis, ideal for those who like to set up and tune their cars.

Form and aerodynamic fitments

The polycarbonate body keeps weight down while reflecting race-inspired shapes. A moulded rear wing plus separate front wing components help control airflow, and the metallic sticker set and anniversary badge give a finished, collectible appearance.

Underbody engineering and material choices

The AR chassis is chosen for its stability and robustness. Molded in white polycarbonate-ABS, it delivers a stiff platform, while red POM A parts reinforce the chassis joints for repeatable performance on demanding tracks.

Upgrade path and performance considerations

This model supports common Mini 4WD upgrades. Stock parts include yellow polypropylene spiral wheels and black super-hard low-profile tyres suitable for many circuits. With a built-in 3.5:1 gear ratio, racers can trial various Type 130 motors to tune acceleration versus top speed.

Assembly notes for hobbyists

The kit uses snap-fit assembly for an engaging build. For best paint results on the clear body use Tamiya PS-57 Pearl White. Two AA batteries are required to run the car and are sold separately.

The Hurricane Sonic Polycarbonate Body Special offers a blend of collectible styling and practical tunability, suitable for tuners who want a race-capable Mini 4WD with anniversary detailing.
