Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle Type 3 Collector Pickup Kit  [17501]

Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle Type 3 collector pickup

The Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle recreates a classic low-profile pickup silhouette on the small but stable Type 3 chassis. It is part of the Wild Mini 4WD series and appeals to modellers who favour scale character and tidy, display-ready finishes over heavy modification.

Build platform and styling highlights

The Type 3 chassis provides a low centre layout that keeps the model proportionate while offering solid rolling characteristics. The rear bumper area is crafted for roller mounting and the body catch resembles an exhaust for added realism. The kit is fitted with metal-look spoke wheels and slick tyres to emphasise the lowrider aesthetic.

Assembly notes and upgrade advice

Construction uses snap-fit parts so assembly is generally quick and clean without glue. A Type 130 motor is supplied for dependable running, and the chassis accepts a range of Grade Up Parts for those who want to improve speed, handling or add detail. A decal sheet is included for finishing touches.
