Summary of the Raikiri Pink Special

The Tamiya 95486 Raikiri Pink Special pairs a thin polycarbonate body with the adaptable MS chassis to offer a compact, tuneable Mini 4WD that suits both racers and collectors who value adjustability.

Visual design and practicality

The 0.4mm polycarbonate body keeps the car light while providing good resilience. Pink metallic style stickers make the model easy to spot on busy tracks and add a contemporary racing aesthetic.

Chassis engineering and balance

The MS chassis features a double-shaft motor arrangement with batteries placed centrally to even out mass distribution. This helps maintain stability at speed and makes cornering behaviour more predictable.

Upgrade paths and tuning advice

The Raikiri accepts a variety of performance changes. Testing different motors, gear ratios and tyre compounds will let you tune for quicker acceleration or improved top speed. The supplied hard grey low-profile tyres and black Y-spoke wheels are robust, but swapping to softer tyres increases traction where required.

Assembly guidance

Supplied as an assemble-it-yourself kit, the Raikiri supports hobbyists who prefer step-by-step builds and iterative upgrades. The snap-fit parts make construction efficient so you can move quickly to tuning.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MS
  • Motor Compatibility: Double Shaft
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1
  • Wheel Type: Low-Profile

As a lightweight, adaptable Mini 4WD, the Tamiya 95486 Raikiri Pink Special offers straightforward buildability and a clear upgrade route for improved track performance.

This is my 3rd and largest order from RC Jaz so far and I have to say I've been very impressed with this store. Everything arrived in perfect shape and order, very well packaged and delivered quickly bearing in mind this had to come from the other sid
Yes, fitting softer tyre compounds generally improves mechanical grip and cornering, although tyre wear may increase depending on track surface.
The MS chassis offers balanced handling suitable for high speed when properly tuned. Use appropriate gearing and motor choice to safely increase top speed.
You will need two AA batteries to power the car. Basic tools for assembly and optional upgrade parts are useful for optimising performance.
Yes, beginners who want hands-on building experience will find the snap-fit construction approachable, while more experienced tuners can explore performance upgrades.
