Summary of the Dancing Divine Doll

The Tamiya 18651 Dancing Divine Doll interprets the "Hyper Dash! Yonkuro" aesthetic into a compact Mini 4WD racer. It pairs period-correct styling with an MA chassis engineered for balanced performance and tuning flexibility.

Exterior design and heritage

Hiroyuki Takei's styling provides a classic race-car silhouette. The model uses a red body mould complemented by metallic red and brown stickers with lilac accents, producing a distinctive finish that honours its inspiration.

MA chassis design and benefits

The MA (Midship AERO) chassis positions the motor centrally to enhance weight distribution and aerodynamic efficiency. The monocoque chassis simplifies construction and servicing, suitable for newcomers and experienced modders alike.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MA (Midship AERO)
  • Motor Compatibility: Type 130 Double Shaft
  • Body Style: Aero Coupe
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1
  • Wheel Type: Large Diameter Slick Tires

Customisation and performance tuning

The MA chassis provides ample room for upgrades. Racers often change motors, experiment with tyre compounds and sizes, adjust gear ratios, and add ballast or dampers to tune the car to specific circuit demands.

Construction notes and power requirements

This is supplied as a snap-fit kit featuring an Olive Gray ABS chassis and Purple low-friction POM A parts for resilience. A Type 130 double shaft motor is included. The car requires two AA batteries to run, which must be purchased separately.

Combining authentic looks with a flexible MA platform, the Tamiya 18651 Dancing Divine Doll is a compelling choice for collectors and racers who like to personalise their Mini 4WD entries.

Build time depends on experience; most hobbyists can complete the snap-fit assembly in an afternoon, leaving extra time for sticker application and initial setup.
Start with a performance Type 130 motor and better tyres. Small adjustments to gear ratio and adding weights can then be used to refine handling and speed.
The ABS body shell is reasonably robust for track use, but like all lightweight shells it benefits from careful handling and occasional touch-ups after impacts.
Use a light plastic-safe grease on gears to reduce wear and noise. Avoid heavy oils that can attract dust and affect gear meshing.
