Mini 4WD Wiki

The Dyna Storm Junior (Japanese: ダイナストームJr., Daina Sutōmu Junia) is a Racing Mini 4WD car released by Tamiya on July 22, 1993. It was based on the Dyna Storm R/C buggy, also made by Tamiya.

Tamiya would later release the RS variant of the Dyna Storm on March 23, 2013.

General info[]

The Dyna Storm featuring the streamlined buggy body design, with 3-window canopy and rear spoiler. The damper and shock tower props can be found on the front nose and on behind the canopy

The bodyshell is in the two-tone color, consists of ultramarine blue and black. There's the 'Dyna Storm' decals on the sides of the side cowls.

The original Dyna Storm[]

The original Dyna Storm has a 'Blow'n up a' storm' decal on the front nose, the 'Total control' decals on the side cowls and a 'Dyna Storm' decal on the spoiler. It has the car number 5 on the winglets.

It was equipped with the white, large diameter 6-spoke Manta Ray-type wheels paired with the black Avante-type slick tires. Both the chassis frame and A parts were molded in gray.

RS[]

The RS variant retains the same body decal patterns as the original, but with the few changes. The car number on the winglets and the 'Blow'n up a' storm' decal on the front nose were replaced by the 'RS' decals. The 'Total control' decals and a 'Dyna Storm' decal on the spoiler were also replaced by the 'Super-II Chassis' decals and the Tamiya logo decal respectively. The black color part of the two-tone color has the checker flag-like pattern.

It was equipped with the cyan-plated, large diameter 6-spoke Manta Ray-type wheels paired with the black Avante-type slick tires. It has the black chassis frame with silver A parts.

About the Dyna Storm 1/10 R/C buggy[]

Released in 1992, the Dyna Storm is a rear-wheel-drive R/C buggy released by Tamiya. It was derived from the prototype TRF-211X chassis.

It has the FRP half-double deck chassis frame, with the rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive layout. The chassis is support by the four-wheel independent double wishbone suspensions, with oil-filled aluminum dampers and tie-rod upper arms for damping and camber adjustments. It was equipped with the front part-groove part-spike tires and rear spire spike tires.

The Acto-Power Off-Roader 2WD 540-size motor was mated to a special gearbox, which houses the Multi-disc Clutch (MDC) system that protects gears and prevent slippage and a limited-slip ball-thrust differential. The axles are the universal driveshaft type.

The Dyna Storm was later re-released in 2002, with the Acto-Power motor being replaced by the unlabeled, special-made 14T brushed motor.
