The Tamiya Dash-1 Emperor Premium revives a classic 1988 Mini 4WD silhouette while using the modern Super-II chassis for improved durability and tuning. This kit balances nostalgic styling with practical race-ready upgrades for active track use.
The model keeps its signature lines in white ABS bodywork that echoes vintage rally cars. A full sticker sheet is supplied so builders can personalise the look before taking it to the track.
The Super-II chassis is moulded in black ABS for strength and flex resistance. Racers favour this layout for its wide upgrade compatibility. Blue ABS A-parts and the locking gear cover provide neat assembly and added reliability under race loads.
Equipped with a 4.2:1 gear ratio and large-diameter slick wheels, the Dash-1 Emperor Premium is configured for fast, stable runs. It supports a range of Grade-Up Parts such as higher torque motors, tuned tyres and ballast changes to match different circuits.
The kit ships with a Type 130 motor and needs two AA batteries (not included). Most components use snap-fit features, making the build approachable for newcomers while still offering tuneable details that more experienced hobbyists expect. The model fits standard Mini 4WD track layouts used in organised racing.
The Tamiya Dash-1 Emperor Premium blends a retro exterior with a flexible Super-II platform, making it a solid pick for collectors and racers who enjoy hands-on tuning and trackday competition.
