Buster-Sonic Premium - precision styling and track-focused design

The Tamiya 19445 Buster-Sonic Premium, built on the AR chassis, showcases careful engineering and a dynamic silhouette. Inspired by the Mini 4WD series "Let's & Go!!" and Retsu Seiba's famous machine, this kit blends collectible appeal with practical race performance for club racers and hobbyists.

Streamlined body and modern finish

Designed for low drag, the Buster-Sonic Premium features a smooth white ABS body that reduces turbulence while cornering. The metallic sticker set updates the classic look and helps the car stand out on race day or in a display case.

AR chassis tuned for airflow

The AR chassis provides an aerodynamic base, moulded in metallic gray ABS with contrast red A parts for easy identification during maintenance. Its layout encourages effective airflow management to help maintain speed on straightaways and through bends.

Tuning and upgrade paths

Racers can tailor the Buster-Sonic Premium to track demands by upgrading motors, adjusting gearing, or swapping tyres. The model ships with large-diameter yellow wheels and black tyres for good traction, and the stock 4.2:1 gear ratio delivers a balanced mix of acceleration and top speed.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: AR (Aero)
  • Body Material: White ABS Plastic
  • Wheel Type: Large-Diameter, 5-Spoke
  • Gear Ratio: 4.2:1
  • Motor Compatibility: 130 Single-Shaft Motor Included

The Buster-Sonic Premium balances visual authenticity with practical upgradeability, making it a strong choice for racers who want an out-of-the-box performer that responds well to tuning and track setup changes.

Assembly follows standard Mini 4WD procedures and is suitable for someone familiar with basic modelling tools. Parts snap and screw together logically, making it approachable for newcomers with some guidance.
High-torque 130-series single-shaft motors are a common upgrade. Choose a motor that matches your track layout: higher torque for tight technical tracks, higher RPM for long straights.
Softer compound tyres increase grip on smooth indoor surfaces, while lower-profile tyres reduce drag. Test combinations of foam or rubber to find the best balance for your track.
Regularly clean bearings and gear teeth, check for loose screws, and inspect the A parts for wear. Light lubrication and proper gear mesh help sustain top performance.
