Quick look at the Dash-1 Emperor Black Special
The Tamiya 95296 Dash-1 Emperor Black Special is a reissue of the classic Mini 4WD, noted for its distinctive look and practical performance. This kit uses the MS Chassis, making it a great platform for racers and hobbyists who want to focus on speed and handling upgrades.
Sculpted body and race-ready visuals
The smoke-colored ABS body gives the Dash-1 Emperor Black Special a modern, aggressive silhouette. Sticker sheets are included to refine the livery, while the large diameter, narrow silver wheels and arched black tyres complete a competitive, track-oriented appearance.
MS chassis: modular stability
The MS Chassis provides a modular layout with removable N-02 nose and T-01 tail sections to help balance stability and agility. Chassis components and A parts are molded in fluorescent yellow ABS for toughness and easy part ID during setup.
Tuning options for track performance
This Dash-1 model has plenty of room for performance work. The MS chassis accepts double shaft motors and can be tailored with different tyres, gear ratios and weight placement. Adding dampers or fine-tuning mass distribution will help with technical courses and high speed straights.
Assembly tips and required tools
The kit snaps together for a straightforward build. You will need a small Phillips screwdriver and plastic modelling side cutters. Parts come in baseline colours, and painting is optional for those who want a custom finish.
