Summary of the Raikiri and Panda Racer

The Tamiya Raikiri (Green) & Panda Racer presents a transparent green body mounted on a light green and white MA chassis, merging contemporary sports styling with Mini 4WD engineering.

Body Lines and Visual Impact

The sleek silhouette borrows cues from high-spec touring cars to deliver an aerodynamic profile that also looks great on display. The small Panda Racer figurine gives the model personality, while the sticker sheet allows custom livery with numbers and logos.

MA Chassis Design Features

The MA (Midship AERO) chassis places the motor centrally to improve balance and aerodynamic flow. Included are six low-friction rollers and a rear skid bar to increase stability and cornering consistency on different track layouts. The design is practical for both newcomers and seasoned builders.

Modding and Setup Advice

Common modifications include swapping motors, changing tyres and adjusting gear ratios to suit each circuit. The MA chassis is compatible with many Tamiya components, providing scope to tune weight distribution, gearing and grip for better lap times.

The Tamiya Raikiri (Green) & Panda Racer blends eye-catching aesthetics with a capable MA chassis, making it a strong contender for modders who want a compact, tuneable Mini 4WD.

This kit is supplied with the MA (Midship AERO) chassis, chosen for its mid-mounted motor and aerodynamic advantages on standard circuits.
Yes, changing tyres is a common tune; select compounds and widths that match the circuit to improve grip and cornering.
Basic modelling tools and a small screwdriver are sufficient for assembly, though precision nippers and fine files help when trimming and fitting parts.
The model requires two R6/AA/UM3 batteries, which are not included. Use reliable cells to ensure consistent power and avoid voltage sag during runs.
