MINI 4WD

Mini 4WD racing has captivated hobbyists since its inception in 1982 by the Japanese manufacturer Tamiya. These 1/32 scale model racing cars, powered by an electric motor and two AA batteries, have become a beloved pastime for enthusiasts of all ages.

The races take place on three-lane tracks, meticulously designed and reconfigured at every event, bordered by guardrails where the models glide along. The first car that completes 3 laps is the winner!

What started as a niche hobby has grown into a global phenomenon, with Mini 4WD enthusiasts gathering at local and international events to showcase their customized creations and test their tuning prowess.
