The Fully Cowled Mini 4WD (Japanese: フルカウルミニ四駆, Furukauru Mini Yonku) series is a line-up of Mini 4WD cars introduced by Tamiya on September 7, 1994.
The main feature of the cars from this line-up is that they have a fully cowled body shell, which also covers the wheels, creating the low drag design. With the exceptions of the Beat-Magnum series and Buster-Sonic, most cars featured in this line-up were equipped with small-diameter wheels by default.
The Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! series, including the ongoing Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! Return Racers! manga, featuring cars from this line-up. All Mini 4WD cars featured in this line-up were designed by Tetsuhiro Koshita, the manga author of the Let's & Go! series.
