Sleek futuristic styling and on-track agility
The Tamiya Ray Spear (VZ) brings a forward-looking body design to the Mini 4WD lineup, drawn by the same designer behind the Dual Ridge Jr. and DCR-01. Its silhouette emphasises speed and nimble handling, appealing to both competitive racers and scale collectors.
Body layout and visual details
The model uses clear green ABS for the body, with a removable canopy section so you can configure the car as open-top or closed-top. Dark silver spiral type 6-spoke wheels with black, small diameter super hard low-profile tyres give the Ray Spear an aggressive stance while keeping rolling resistance low.
VZ chassis build and durability
The VZ chassis is compact and lightweight, reinforced at stress points like the bumper and rear stay base to cope with racing demands. It accepts a number of aftermarket upgrades and uses low-friction POM 620 plastic bearings to improve drivetrain efficiency. The stock gear ratio is 3.5:1.
Tuning and upgrade pathways
This kit supports a broad selection of Grade-Up Parts sold separately for motor, tyre, and gear changes, letting racers tune the Ray Spear for sprinters, technical tracks, or high-speed layouts.
Assembly notes
The kit is supplied as a build-up model with colour-moulded parts to simplify assembly. A Type 130 motor is provided, and the car runs on two AA batteries, which are not included.
