Hello, everyone. I am Boss from the Plastic Model Republic who wants to become the wind.

Hello, everyone. It's hot today, isn't it? I am Saori from Plastic Model Republic.

Saori is looking at me like I'm a weirdo. That's not it. When it's finished, it can run like the wind! I was excited because I found a slightly wonderful Plastic Model.

What is Racer Mini 4WD?
The Racer Mini 4WD (Racer Mini Four-Wheel Drive Series) is a new series of Mini 4WD that has been redesigned and engineered from the original Mini 4WD that was sold by TAMIYA, INC. since 1982, speeding up and enhancing its competitiveness.
Since its launch in 1986, new products are still being released, and it's a series that showcases the fun, competitiveness, ease of assembly, and joy of creating your own customizations of Mini 4WD.
It is generally pre-painted and some decorations are done with stickers. It features a high degree of freedom to make arrangements to run faster after completion, such as filing tires to run faster, attaching separate parts to run smoothly on the course. Note that a AA battery is needed to operate it, which is common.
As a side note, the cute animal drivers seen in the photos do not come with it. They are cute.

The animals in the driver's seat are cute. They make me smile unintentionally.

Aside from the cute animals, it seems that the Racer Mini 4WD is still actively being played with as a plastic model. Not only children, but also adults are fascinated by the wide range of customizations!

I understand! I also had a few with my brother in the past, but when I was a child, I had little allowance and there were few parts that I could buy freely! Now that I'm an adult and looking at it this way, I can buy lots of parts I like without hesitation and attach them! When I think about it, I can understand why adults would get hooked on it too!

Basically, since it's a race to run fast, it seems that making it lighter by not attaching too many parts would make it run faster, but it's nice to be able to customize it as you like!

But if you customize it too much and make it too light, there seems to be definite pros and cons, such as not being able to turn sharp corners due to lack of weight! First, how about purchasing a Racer Mini 4WD that you've fallen in love with at first sight and then gradually start making arrangements from there!

Uoo! I want to run it quickly! I'm going to be the wind!
