Introducing the Hurricane Sonic anniversary kit

The Tamiya 95603 Hurricane Sonic Polycarbonate Body Special marks the 30th anniversary of the Fully Cowled Mini 4WD range, combining classic styling cues and modern materials. This limited kit brings a see-through polycarbonate body together with the dependable AR chassis, suited to both tuning and presentation.

Body styling and aerodynamic details

The clear polycarbonate body captures a race-ready profile while keeping mass to a minimum. An integrated rear wing and separate front wing components assist stability, and the metallic decals along with the anniversary insignia enhance the collector appeal.

AR chassis characteristics

The AR chassis offers a stable, well-balanced platform for upgrades. Its white polycarbonate-ABS moulding provides rigidity, and red POM A parts reinforce the chassis assembly to cope with repeated track use.

Tuning advice and upgrade notes

The kit is compatible with standard Mini 4WD tuning practices. It includes yellow polypropylene spiral wheels and black super-hard low-profile tyres designed for varied track surfaces. The fixed 3.5:1 gear ratio works with Type 130 motors for builders testing different performance setups.

Assembly and paint recommendations

This Mini 4WD kit assembles with snap-fit parts, offering a satisfying build. For painting the clear body use products suitable for polycarbonate; Tamiya PS-57 Pearl White produces a smooth finish. Two AA batteries are required and sold separately.

Offering anniversary detailing and an upgrade-friendly AR chassis, the Hurricane Sonic Polycarbonate Body Special is a flexible choice for racers and collectors seeking a compact, tunable Mini 4WD.

While experienced hobbyists will appreciate the tuning options, the snap-fit assembly makes it accessible to beginners prepared to follow the instructions and take care with painting and trimming.
Common first changes include testing different Type 130 motors and trying softer tyre compounds or lighter wheels to improve cornering and acceleration for your local track.
Regular checks of screws and drivetrain parts, cleaning tyres and bearings, and replacing worn tyres will keep performance consistent. Inspect the polycarbonate body for cracks after heavy impacts.
Spare parts for the AR chassis and Type 130 compatible components are available from mainstream hobby retailers and specialist online shops, making repairs straightforward.
Use paint made for polycarbonate bodies; Tamiya PS-57 Pearl White is a commonly recommended option for even coverage and adhesion.
