Classic Model Reissue: Tamiya JR Great Emperor Premium

The Tamiya JR Great Emperor Premium Mini 4WD revives the 1991 original with modern engineering choices on the Super-II chassis. Released as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations, this kit blends retro looks with improved parts for reliable track performance.

Bodywork and Aero Details

The Great Emperor features a clean, race-inspired silhouette finished in white. Removable front and rear wings let you tune the car's airflow profile to suit different cornering styles and track layouts.

Super-II Chassis Features

The Super-II chassis is molded from durable ABS in a dark gray shade, engineered for torsional stiffness and predictable handling at speed. Bright red ABS A parts provide contrast while helping reinforce critical mounting points.

Tuning and Upgrade Routes

The kit ships with a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, a solid baseline for both straight-line speed and acceleration. Builders often swap higher torque or higher RPM motors, try alternate gear sets, and test different tyres to match their local track conditions.

Assembly and Running Gear

Snap-fit construction makes the Great Emperor approachable for newcomers, while the small-diameter gold 3-spoke wheels and grooved black tyres offer dependable grip on standard Mini 4WD circuits.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: Super-II
  • Motor Compatibility: Type 130 single-shaft motor
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1

The Tamiya JR Great Emperor Premium gives collectors and racers a tidy mix of period styling and modern chassis stability, making it a straightforward platform for learning setup and upgrades.

For someone familiar with Mini 4WD kits, a basic snap-fit build takes about 60 to 90 minutes. New builders should allow extra time to read the instructions and test-fit parts.
A higher RPM Type 130 variant is a common first swap for more top speed. If your track has many tight corners, consider a motor with stronger low-end torque instead.
Yes, many Super-II components like A parts, wheels and gears are sold separately, so you can replace wear items or try upgrade parts without switching platforms.
Soft-compound or low-profile tyres usually improve corner grip on polished indoor track surfaces. Test different compounds to find the best balance between traction and wear.
