The Tamiya 58502 Zen: Precision and Performance in Mini 4WD Racing

For those deeply entrenched in the world of Mini 4WD racing, the Tamiya 58502 Zen is more than just a model—it's a tribute to the art of precision racing. Inspired by the expertise of a legendary 1990s Mini 4WD designer, this model harnesses the potential of the Super-II chassis to offer an unparalleled racing experience. The "Zen" is not merely a name but a nod to its heritage and the calm focus required for expert-level racing.

Chassis That Commands Respect

The backbone of the Zen is its Super-II chassis, renowned for its robust design and adaptability on the track. Crafted from lightweight ABS resin, the bathtub chassis houses a rear-mounted motor with a rear-wheel drive configuration, providing exceptional balance and power distribution. This setup is ideal for racers who demand precision and control at high speeds.

Suspension Designed for Dominance

The Tamiya Zen doesn't compromise on handling, thanks to its 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension system. Outfitted with C.V.A. oil-filled shocks and monocoque-type lower arms, this suspension setup eats bumps for breakfast, ensuring a smooth ride over varied terrain. Whether you're navigating tight corners or tackling straightaways, this suspension keeps the vehicle glued to the track.

Traction That Grips the Competition

The Zen's tire configuration is a masterclass in engineering. The front spiked tires, enhanced by three ribs, offer unparalleled stability, while the rear tires boast a combination of spikes and an X-shaped tread pattern for superior grip. This dual approach ensures that no matter the track conditions, your car maintains optimal traction and control.

The Tamiya 58502 Zen is tailored for the discerning racer who seeks the perfect blend of historical homage and modern engineering prowess. Its robust design, coupled with advanced suspension and tire technology, makes it a formidable contender on any track.
