WHAT IS MINI 4WD
Tamiya Mini 4WD kits are a fun way to get into racing cars. They are easy to build, very inexpensive, teach basic mechanics of a working mechanical system, and teach basic physics principles. This blog post takes a look into building an efficient box-stock kit and then adding basic option parts to make a basic Mini 4WD kit go faster around the race track!
Take it to the next step: Adding Grade-Up Parts
So, you have a good box stock race kit. Now what? Everyone wants to go faster, right? Now that we’ve got a fast box-stock car, let us take it to the next level. The following two Grade-Up Option parts will take your car into “Super Stock” status. For this we’ll install wheel axle ball-bearings, item #15287 and ball-bearing rollers, item #15426. These simple options alone will greatly improve the performance of the car. The ball bearing rollers are mounted in the same hole locations as the box-stock plastic roller locations.
