Retro Styling Meets Modern Super-II Engineering

The Tamiya JR Great Emperor Premium brings the 1991 icon back with contemporary tweaks on the Super-II chassis. Issued as an anniversary release, the kit combines classic visual cues with parts that stand up to regular track use.

Heritage Body and Wing Options

Finished in striking white, the Great Emperor's bodywork recalls vintage racers. Detachable front and rear wings let you alter aerodynamic balance to suit technical sections or faster straights.

Chassis Build and Ride Characteristics

Constructed from robust ABS and presented in dark gray, the Super-II chassis offers a predictable handling base for tuning. The red ABS A parts serve both as reinforcement and as a nod to traditional colour accents.

Upgrades to Consider

The stock Type 130 motor with a 3.5:1 gearbox is a reliable starting point. Popular upgrades include higher performance Type 130 variants, alternate gearing and tyre swaps to adapt to different circuit surfaces.

Simplified Assembly for All Skill Levels

The snap-fit design keeps assembly straightforward while allowing hobbyists to upgrade components over time. Included are small gold 3-spoke wheels and grooved black tyres for consistent traction.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: Super-II
  • Motor Compatibility: Type 130 single-shaft motor
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1

Tamiya JR Great Emperor Premium is a compact, tuneable Mini 4WD that appeals to collectors and racers who appreciate classic design with practical upgrade pathways.

Wipe down the chassis, check for loose A parts and inspect tyres for wear. Clean gears and apply a light lubricant to bearings or bushings to preserve smooth operation.
Some body shells and wing parts can be swapped between models, but fitment depends on mounting points. Check dimensions before attempting a transplant.
The Great Emperor performs well on standard club tracks and technical layouts. Adjust tyres and gearing to match slick or abrasive surfaces for optimal lap times.
Yes, its straightforward build and familiar Super-II parts make it ideal for newcomers to practice tuning motor, gear ratio and tyre selection without a steep learning curve.
