Tamiya Rise-Emperor (MA Chassis)(18643)

Rise-Emperor is the machine driven by Yonkuro Hinomaru, hero of the "Hyper Dash! Yonkuro" cartoon serialised in CoroCoro Aniki. Its design draws directly on the original Dash-1 Emperor, reworked into a racy form with an air intake set into the top of the cockpit, along with moulded detail suggesting cockpit-side lights and damper units. The body rides on large-diameter 4-spoke wheels in white with matching tires.

It's built on the midship-motor MA chassis, which keeps the motor centred in the car for aerodynamic balance; this version is geared 4:1, with six individual low-friction rollers, a rear skid bar, and Tamiya's single-piece monocoque frame construction.
