1/32 JR Mini 4WD Dual Ridge Jr. (VZ Chassis)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: From R/C Legend to Mini 4WD Speedster! The Dual Ridge Jr. makes a massive impact as it brings the fan-favorite 1/10 scale R/C buggy design into the world of Mini 4WD! At Hobby Hideaway, we love how this model captures the aggressive, aerodynamic lines of its larger cousin while sitting on the cutting-edge VZ chassis. Molded in a sleek Silver ABS with dedicated metallic stickers and premium plated wheels, this car looks just as good on a display shelf as it does flying down the straightaways.

The Next-Gen VZ Chassis: Compact, Light, and Tough The Dual Ridge Jr. utilizes the VZ Chassis, the modern successor to the legendary VS platform. Designed to be compact and lightweight, the VZ features reinforced bumpers and rear stay bases to provide the "functional flex" needed to survive high-speed racing. With its screw-attached multi-part front bumper and rear roller stay, this chassis is a tuner’s dream, offering endless possibilities for adding FRP or carbon stays to dial in your performance.

• R/C Inspired Styling: A faithful recreation of the 1/10 scale Dual Ridge R/C buggy, molded in Silver ABS for a premium look.
