1/32 JR Mini 4WD Cross Spear 01 Japan Cup 2025 (VZ Chassis)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: A Commemorative Track Star! To celebrate the legendary Japan Cup 2025, Tamiya has released this stunning special limited-edition version of the Cross Spear 01. Originally introduced as a fan-favorite, this newly updated Mini 4WD features an exclusive color scheme, dedicated track tires, and premium metallic stickers. At Hobby Hideaway, we recommend this kit for racers who appreciate an eye-catching, truss-styled aesthetic paired with a lightweight chassis built for high-speed technical layouts.

Modern Performance on the VZ Chassis Don't let the commemorative looks fool you—underneath that iconic white body is the VZ Chassis. The VZ is Tamiya’s modern take on compact, lightweight design. It offers the perfect balance of flexibility and durability, making it an excellent "tuner" chassis. Its front bumper and rear stay are reinforced to handle high-speed impacts, ensuring your Cross Spear 01 keeps pushing lap after lap.

Sleek Styling for Maximum Impact Every curve and open truss section of the Cross Spear 01 is designed to stand out on the track. The striking white ABS body perfectly contrasts with the vibrant fluorescent orange 5-spoke wheels. Equipped with black super-hard, small-diameter low-profile tires featuring white sidewall commemorative lettering, this machine is built to stay planted and maintain momentum through technical sections without bouncing off the course.

• Complete Assembly Kit: Features the striking Cross Spear 01 body (White ABS) and the agile VZ Chassis (Blue ABS).

• Premium Tires: Super-hard, small-diameter low-profile tires designed to reduce bounce and deliver excellent cornering speed.

• High-Visibility Wheels: Paired with fluorescent orange 5-spoke polypropylene wheels for an aggressive racing profile.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: To truly master the VZ chassis, focus your first upgrade on carbon fiber reinforcement plates. Because this kit features super-hard tires, it will already have excellent cornering speed and less bounce when landing jumps. By installing reinforced plates and upgrading to precision ball bearings, you can ensure the car settles properly and translates all that motor power directly to the track. Finding that perfect balance between rigidity and agility is what keeps you on the rails and crossing the finish line!
