Product line-up
Mini 4WD PRO Series DCR-02 (Decross-02) S-PULSE Special Edition
This is a four-wheel drive plastic model assembly kit with high performance and fun racing. DCR-02 (Decross-02) is one of the Mini 4WD PRO series that uses the “Cross System”. The chassis (vehicle body) uses a high-performance MA chassis. “MA” is an abbreviation for MidshipAERO. The double-shaft motor is mounted in the center of the vehicle, resulting in excellent drive efficiency and weight balance, and the underside of the vehicle has been designed with consideration to airflow (aero) while driving, resulting in excellent aerodynamic effects. The S-PULSE Special Edition is now available, allowing you to customize the DCR-02 to S-Pulse specifications. The exterior is also an S-Pulse original sleeve.

Mini 4WD REV Series K4 Gambo S-PULSE Special Edition
This is a plastic model assembly kit of a high-performance racer that uses shaft drive four-wheel drive. The K4 Gambo is a machine modeled after the custom light trucks that have become popular overseas in recent years. As the name “Ganbo” means “having a lot of fun”, the metallic orange ABS resin body is full of playfulness. The chassis adopts FM-A with a front motor layout that incorporates aero design. Since the center of gravity is closer to the front of the vehicle body, the height of the jump is suppressed and it leads to a sense of stability. The S-PULSE special edition, which allows you to further customize the metallic orange body K4 Gambo to S-Pulse specifications, is now available.
