Tamiya Dash-01 Super Emperor Overview

The Tamiya Dash-01 Super Emperor reconnects with classic Mini 4WD styling while gaining the practical benefits of the MS chassis. This model blends a nostalgic silhouette with engineering that suits both display collectors and club racers.

Classic Off-Road Aesthetic

Styled like a retro off-road buggy, the Dash-01 Super Emperor keeps the familiar lines fans expect. The body is precisely molded to hold the iconic profile, and the rear windshield can be trimmed or opened up to shed weight for race setups.

MS Chassis Features

The MS chassis is prized for modular layout and compatibility with double-shaft motors, offering a steady platform for tuning. Its layout supports common Grade-Up Parts, letting builders tailor handling and durability to match track demands.

Setup and Tuning Options

  • Motors: Swap in high-torque or high-speed motors to suit different circuits.
  • Tires: Pick low-profile, slick, or grip-focused tires to change traction.
  • Gears: Modify gear ratios to find the right compromise between acceleration and top speed.
  • Dampers: Fit dampers to tame bounce on rough or technical track sections.

With these options the Dash-01 Super Emperor adapts well to various Mini 4WD track types, helping you tune for consistent lap times.

Build and Assembly Notes

The kit uses snap-fit assembly, so it builds quickly without glue while still allowing detailed upgrades. That makes it approachable for newcomers and flexible for experienced tuners who want to experiment with parts and setup.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MS
  • Body Style: Retro Off-Road Buggy
  • Motor Compatibility: Double Shaft
  • Wheel Type: Standard
  • Parts Molded: In color; painting optional

Overall, the Tamiya Dash-01 Super Emperor offers a satisfying mix of classic looks and modern tuning capability. It is a solid pick for hobbyists who want a customizable Mini 4WD with strong vintage character.

Remove or trim non-structural body sections such as the rear windshield and opt for lightweight rollers and screws. Keep load-bearing parts intact to avoid weakening the chassis.
For typical club tracks balance speed and torque with a mid-range high-speed motor. If the course has many turns choose a higher torque option to improve acceleration out of corners.
The parts come molded in color so painting is optional. Basic hand tools and a hobby knife are useful for trimming and fine adjustments during the snap-fit build.
Start with tyres and a balanced motor, then refine gearing. Upgrading rollers and stabilizers next usually gives the best improvement in lap consistency.
