The Tamiya Dual Ridge Jr. presents a bold off-road buggy look scaled to Mini 4WD size. Its rally-inspired lines and aggressive stance give it strong visual presence while the VZ chassis layout balances lightness with structural support for track use. Builders will find this kit a practical base for both fun drives and competitive tuning.
The kit includes a silver ABS body designed to echo high performance off-road machines. The aerodynamic contours reduce drag on straights while metallic sticker accents boost the model's show appeal. The body is robust enough for repeated track use yet ready for paint and decal customization.
The VZ chassis is compact and engineered for a low weight-to-strength ratio. Key reinforcing zones like the bumper and rear stay base help resist impacts during races. It ships with low friction 620 plastic bearings molded in POM to improve drivetrain efficiency. Chassis and A parts are molded in black ABS for durability and ease of maintenance.
Racers can swap motors to suit different tracks, with torque-oriented options useful on technical layouts. Upgrading to slick or lower profile tyres can change traction and cornering response. Fine tuning gear ratios and adding small weights or damping elements will help dial in handling for lap consistency.
The Dual Ridge Jr. uses a snap-fit assembly system that makes it straightforward to build for newcomers while still offering scope for experienced tuners. It conforms to standard Mini 4WD track dimensions so it fits typical club and event setups out of the box.
The Tamiya Dual Ridge Jr. (VZ-Chassis) is a versatile Mini 4WD that suits collectors and club racers who want a durable base for upgrades and race setup refinement.
