Introduction to the Tamiya Mini 4WD Pig Racer Super-II

The Tamiya Mini 4WD Pig Racer pairs a lighthearted pig motif with the dependable Super-II chassis. The open-top buggy profile provides visual charm while the underlying design supports practical racing adjustments.

Shell design and on-track appeal

The Pig Racer's pink finish and sculpted open cockpit create a distinct appearance. Its Super Astute inspired body suggests agility and the sticker set lets you customise details for a personal race look.

Chassis layout and mechanical notes

The Super-II chassis delivers a robust base for handling and upgrades. The kit includes white resin parts together with fluorescent pink items like the battery holder, rear stay and rollers. Thin five-spoke wheels combined with large-diameter arched tyres help maintain traction and balance.

Options for tuning and upgrades

To extract more performance, try different motor types, experiment with tyre compound and profile, or alter gear and roller setup to suit the track. The 5:1 gearing offers a pragmatic mix of speed and controllability.

Build process and practical advice

With primarily snap-fit construction, the kit is accessible for newcomers and allows experienced modders to focus on performance tuning rather than complex assembly procedures.
