WHY IS TAMIYA'S MINI 4WD SO POPULAR?

Tamiya is one of the leaders of the model making industry and takes pride in offering all modelling enthusiasts both a fun and fulfilling modelling experience. Tamiya's most popular model of plastic cars, known as the 'Mini 4WD', is constantly grabbing the attention of modelling enthusiasts all over the world. You may remember the Tamiya Mini 4WD from the late 80's and the late 90's, but now it's more popular than ever. 

 

What is Tamiya's Mini 4WD?

The Mini 4WD (also known as mini yonku) is any miniature model from Tamiya within the scale of 1/20 to 1/48. The name "4WD" comes from 4-wheel drive, as opposed to "AWD" meaning All-wheel drive. The 4WD gained a lot of popularity again in 2015 by a 1/32 scaled plastic model race car without a remote control.  So far the Mini 4WD has gone through 6 generations from Generation I to Generation VI. The latest model called the FM-A chassis is a subseries to the REV series. The FM-A chassis combines aerodynamics and the monocoque aesthetics of the AR chassis with the inner aspects of the FM chassis. Take a look at it in action in the video down below.
