Quick overview of the Tamiya Z Wing-Magnum

The Tamiya Z Wing-Magnum is a celebrated Mini 4WD from designer Tetsuhiro Koshita, born from the "Let's & Go!" series and released as part of its 20th anniversary range. Built on the AR Chassis, this kit balances aerodynamic form with a sturdy layout suited to club racing and display.

Styling and body background

The Z Wing-Magnum uses ABS plastic for a tough, lightweight shell. Sharp body lines and a prominent front intake help channel air and offer a race-inspired look while remaining durable enough for regular track use.

AR chassis advantages

The AR Chassis focuses on aero performance and a rigid platform for upgrades. Its layout makes servicing straightforward and fitting parts easy. A standard 130 single-shaft motor is included for dependable stock power.

Tuning and upgrade paths

Owners can pursue several mods to match track conditions, such as higher torque motor swaps, alternative tyre compounds for better traction, and gear changes. The stock 3.5:1 gear ratio gives a balanced mix of acceleration and top speed for most club tracks.

Assembly notes

This kit snaps together and needs only basic tools to assemble. Builders often customise the front cowls and body trims to mirror the original cartoon styling or to reduce weight for racing.

The Tamiya Z Wing-Magnum suits collectors and racers who want a tunable, visually striking Mini 4WD with straightforward upgrade paths and reliable stock performance.
