Dash-1 Emperor was one of the most popular machines of Japan's original Mini 4WD boom, and this kit reissues it on the modern MS chassis. The body shell keeps its original retro details — a top-mounted air intake and rear exhausts — while pin-spike tires round out the period look.
A double-shaft motor is mounted at the centre of the three-piece MS chassis and drives all four wheels; the chassis assembles without glue via Tamiya's 'One-Touch' snap-together design. As with other MS-chassis models, it is compatible with Tamiya's Mini 4WD Grade-Up Parts for tuning.
