The Tamiya Slash Reaper sits in the Mini 4WD lineup as a compact racer that blends purposeful aesthetics with track-ready chassis choices. The kit targets hobbyists who want a model that looks sharp and performs well on technical courses.
Styled after off-road buggies, the Slash Reaper body shows bold lines and purposeful cutouts that help cool the motor and reduce weight. The Gun Metal and Orange paint scheme gives it a high-contrast look similar to rally-inspired liveries.
The VS chassis is valued for its short wheelbase and lightweight construction, making it nimble on tight layouts. Front-mounted 16mm rollers fitted with rubber rings improve cornering stability, while the 4.2:1 gear ratio balances acceleration and top speed for typical Mini 4WD tracks.
Hobbyists can tune the Slash Reaper with a range of motors, tyres and gear sets to match specific track conditions. The body shell is also compatible with MS and Super-II chassis layouts, offering flexibility in setup and racing strategy.
This kit uses snap-fit components for a straightforward build process that suits both newcomers and seasoned builders. Painting is optional, but the factory-moulded colours provide a clean base for custom detailing.
The Tamiya Slash Reaper with VS chassis is a solid choice for Mini 4WD racers looking for a compact, tunable platform with striking styling and competitive chassis dynamics.
