The Tamiya DCR-02 blends futuristic styling with race-ready engineering. Designed by Takayuki Yamazaki, this Mini 4WD features a modular silhouette that lets hobbyists personalise appearance and function. Built on the MA chassis, it offers aerodynamic advantages and flexible setup options for club and casual track use.
The DCR-02 uses a three-piece body moulded in vivid yellow ABS. That modular format makes colour swaps and part mixing straightforward, including compatibility with parts from the DCR-01. The profile combines sleek aero lines with practical clearances suited to high speed runs.
The MA chassis places the motor centrally for improved balance and predictable handling. It ships with a 3.5:1 gear ratio and six low-friction rollers to keep the car tracking cleanly. A rear skid bar is included to stabilise the car through tight bends and when pushing top speed.
Enthusiasts can replace the kit Type 130 double shaft motor with higher torque or speed variants to match different track layouts. The factory gun metal Y-spoke wheels and black low-profile tyres provide a solid baseline for grip and velocity. Additional Grade-Up Parts are available separately for finer performance tweaks.
The monocoque frame is user friendly for both newcomers and seasoned builders, making assembly and routine maintenance straightforward. Parts are designed for easy handling and alignment. The model requires two AA batteries, which are not included in the kit.
The Tamiya DCR-02 is a versatile Mini 4WD that suits collectors and racers alike. Its MA chassis and modular body give a strong platform for learning setup and exploring upgrades, whether you are refining lap times or building a standout display model.
