Quick overview of the Tamiya 95658 Jr Festa Jaune L Orange Special

The Tamiya 95658 Jr Festa Jaune L Orange Special is a notable entry in the Mini 4WD lineup, aimed at racers and collectors who value style and straightforward performance. Its eye-catching bodywork and durable MA chassis make it a solid base for track days and club events.

Sculpted body with purpose

The kit uses a polycarbonate shell printed with a carbon-pattern finish to mimic high-end race styling. The fluorescent orange chassis improves visibility on the track and pairs with fin-type wheels and black super hard small diameter low-profile tyres to prioritise stability and cornering speed.

MA chassis and mid motor layout

The MA chassis offers a mid-ship motor position that helps balance weight distribution for consistent lap times. Molded from fluorescent orange ABS, it holds up to regular use while remaining light. Stock gearing at 3.5:1 combined with a Type 130 motor gives a good baseline for club racing.

Tuning and upgrade paths

Builders can pursue several upgrades to suit their track. Swapping the standard motor for higher torque variants, trying different tyre compounds, or fitting lightweight rollers are common routes to improve acceleration and corner response without major modifications.

Assembly notes for builders

The kit is designed for a clean build experience, suitable for newcomers and experienced hobbyists. Snap-fit parts and clear stickers make bodywork straightforward, letting you spend more time dialing in gearing and handling tweaks.

The Tamiya Jr Festa Jaune L Orange Special balances eye-catching styling with a tunable MA chassis, making it a flexible choice for hobbyists who want a dependable Mini 4WD platform to modify and race.

The MA chassis places the motor near the centre, which improves weight balance and reduces front or rear bias. That stability helps produce more repeatable lap times on technical circuits.
Many builders move to softer compounds or slightly larger diameter tyres to increase grip in slower corners. Test different combinations to match your track surface and driving style.
Yes. The straightforward assembly and clear stickers are beginner friendly, while the chassis offers room to learn upgrades and setup skills as you gain experience.
The 3.5:1 gear ratio with a Type 130 motor is a solid starting point for most club tracks. Fine tuning motor selection and tyre choice is recommended to match specific circuit demands.
