The Tamiya Dash-2 Burning Sun is a distinguished entry in the Mini 4WD PRO lineup, offering a compact, race-minded body paired with an MS chassis. The result is a reliable baseline for both casual track days and more competitive events.

Design and Aerodynamic Intent

Performance Enhancements and Tips

Rules vary by organiser, but the MS chassis and standard body dimensions are commonly accepted; check event-specific regulations on allowed modifications before racing.
Inspect bearings after several runs and service them if you notice drag or noise. Regular cleaning and light lubrication extend their life and keep drivetrain loss low.
Yes, the straightforward assembly and clear upgrade path make it suitable for newcomers who want to learn setup and tuning fundamentals while still being competitive.
Reinforce vulnerable mounting points with small support plates and avoid thin cuts on the body shell. Properly seating screws and using thread lock on metal parts also helps.
