About the Shining Scorpion Premium
The Tamiya Shining Scorpion Premium, model 19436, is a 1/32 Mini 4WD kit inspired by the "Let's & Go Special" anime franchise. It combines collectible styling with practical design choices for track use and display.
Exterior Design and Inspiration
The body features a streamlined form influenced by sports car aerodynamics to reduce resistance and stabilise the model at speed. Decal sheets and vibrant colour accents reference the original anime look while offering customisation options.
Super-II Chassis Construction
This kit is built on the Super-II chassis platform, manufactured from ABS with a light gun metal finish. The rear stay and battery holder are moulded in medium blue, while side stays and stabiliser elements are coloured red for easy identification during setup.
Tuning Options for Track Performance
Racers can explore several tuning directions with the Shining Scorpion Premium. The supplied Type 130 motor pairs with a variety of gear sets, including the high-speed EX counter gear at a 3.7:1 ratio, to tailor acceleration and top speed. Low-profile 26mm dark blue tyres on yellow 5-spoke wheels provide dependable contact with the track.
Setup Advice and Part Fitment
The Super-II layout offers compatibility with many Tamiya parts, allowing upgrades such as more powerful motors, alternative tyre choices, and refined gearing setups. Its modular build makes it approachable for those new to tuning as well as experienced competitors.
