This Mini 4WD captures the look of Hong Kong's red taxis while offering a platform tuned for competition and display. The Tamiya 92402 balances period styling with parts that suit race preparation, making it popular among model builders and track regulars.
The shell reproduces a classic urban taxi profile with accurate sticker art that highlights cab markings. Chrome-plated dish wheels and gray low-profile hard tires give the model a realistic stance and reduce rolling resistance for faster laps.
The FM-A layout places the motor at the front for a shifted centre of mass that helps stability through corners. Low-friction A parts and precision rollers reduce drag, and the under panel construction keeps the body aerodynamically tidy at speed.
Owners can test different motor types, gear sets and tyre compounds to suit specific circuits. The kit accepts common Mini 4WD performance parts, so tuning for acceleration, top speed or cornering is straightforward for those who want to push lap times.
The snap-fit construction means no glue is required, making the build accessible. Take care when applying stickers for an authentic finish, and pre-fit rollers and stabilisers to check clearances before first runs.
With its distinctive taxi look and FM-A chassis, this kit is a good match for hobbyists who value both display appeal and tunable track performance.
