Snapshot of the Dash-1 Emperor Black Special

The Tamiya 95296 Dash-1 Emperor Black Special brings back a familiar Mini 4WD form with reliable performance. Built on the MS Chassis, this kit is aimed at hobbyists who want a platform suited to tuning and competitive running.

Design cues and body finish

The smoke coloured ABS body gives the model a bold, aerodynamic look. Stickers are provided to complete the appearance, while the large narrow silver wheels and arched black tyres give it a distinct racing silhouette.

MS chassis: layout and benefits

The MS Chassis delivers a modular approach with removable N-02 nose and T-01 tail sections to aid handling adjustments. The chassis and A parts are moulded in fluorescent yellow ABS for strength and ease of assembly.

Customisation and track setup

There is good scope for upgrades. The MS chassis accepts double shaft motors and supports tyre, gear and motor swaps to suit different circuits. Fine tuning weight distribution and adding dampers will help with handling on demanding tracks.

Assembly guidance and essentials

As a snap-together kit it is straightforward to assemble. You will need a small Phillips screwdriver and plastic modelling side cutters. Painting is optional for those who prefer a personal finish.

The Tamiya 95296 Dash-1 Emperor Black Special offers a good mix of visual appeal and tunable MS chassis performance, making it suitable for display or competitive Mini 4WD racing.
