Description
Shooting Proud Star is based on a car from the "Hyper Dash! Yonkuro" strip in the Japanese comic CoroCoro Aniki. Its designer, Hiroyuki Takei, has a direct connection to Mini 4WD history: as a junior-high-school student, his design was selected in a competition and became the basis for the original Dash-3 Shooting Star. This successor carries over a thin, rapier-like canopy with an air intake above it, distinctive side intakes, superficial front and rear damper detailing, and an elaborate wing. It rides on large-diameter white 4-spoke wheels fitted with slick tires.
The build uses Tamiya's MA (Midship AERO) chassis, motor mounted centrally for aerodynamic balance, here geared 4:1 with six low-friction rollers and a rear skid bar over a single-piece monocoque frame.
