The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Molly’s Pick! Who says a race car can’t be cute? The Dog Racer features an adorable, pre-painted Shiba Inu driver ready to take the checkered flag! This kit is Molly’s pick—she loves how the vibrant Light Green chassis and Light Blue tires make this one of the most cheerful-looking cars on the starting grid. At Hobby Hideaway, we love these "Animal Racer" kits because they bring a unique personality to the track without sacrificing performance.
The Adaptable Super-II Chassis Underneath the cute exterior is the Super-II Chassis, a favorite for racers who value versatility and high-speed stability. Molded in a vibrant Light Green with White A-parts, this chassis offers increased rigidity and plenty of mounting points for Grade-Up parts. It’s a great platform for those who want a "tuneable" machine that can handle both the carpet at home and the high-speed banked turns of a professional circuit.
