Quick Look at the Spin-Axe Mk.II
The Tamiya Spin-Axe Mk.II is a standout in the Mini 4WD lineup, combining sporty styling with resilient construction. Drawing on rally cues, it balances visual appeal with practical performance for club racers and collectors alike.
Visuals and Bodywork
The Spin-Axe Mk.II features long, oblong headlights and flowing aerodynamic lines that give a sense of speed even at rest. Its body is moulded from durable ABS resin to resist chips and impacts during close racing.
MS Chassis Breakdown
Underneath the shell sits the three-piece MS Chassis, prized for its balance of rigidity and flexibility. The MS format accepts double shaft motors, helping deliver smooth power transfer and stable handling on short circuits.
Track Tuning and Upgrades
This kit is built for modification, with clear upgrade paths for competitive racing. Builders commonly fit higher RPM motors, low-profile tires, and upgraded gears such as the Mini 4WD Pro Super Speed Gear Set to refine speed and traction.
Putting It Together and Power
Assembly uses a snap-fit approach for straightforward building and servicing. The body can be mounted to other compatible Mini 4WD Pro chassis, and the kit requires two R6/AA/UM3 batteries, which are sold separately.
