Description
The Dog Racer pairs a white, single-seater buggy-style body with a pre-assembled and pre-painted shiba-inu driver figure. Included stickers decorate the body and feature a stylized rendering of the Chinese character 柴 ("shiba"). It runs on the Super-II chassis, molded here in light green with a white battery holder, rear stay and rollers, and equipped with turn switches and double rear-stay attachment points; multiple bumper and rear-stay holes allow further setup changes. White V-spoke wheels are paired with large-diameter, narrow-arched tires, and the kit includes a 5:1 gear set and motor.
