Mini 4WDs are 1/32 scale, four-wheel drive model cars that are powered by an electric motor and designed to be assembled from kits. These kits are snap-together, meaning they don't require glue, and can be customized with a wide range of optional parts to enhance performance and appearance. They are popular for both recreational building and competitive racing. Here's a more detailed explanation: Assembly: Mini 4WD kits are designed for easy assembly, typically involving snapping parts together and using screws. Four-Wheel Drive: The cars feature four-wheel drive, powered by a single electric motor, which transmits power to all four wheels. Customization: Tamiya offers a vast array of optional parts (often called "Hop-Up" parts) that can be used to modify and upgrade the cars, allowing for performance tuning and aesthetic changes. Racing: Mini 4WDs are popular for racing, with various tracks and organized competitions available.
