R/C Mini 4WD series logo.
The R/C Mini 4WD (ラジ四駆 Raji Yonku) is a Mini 4WD line-up introduced by Tamiya in 2002.
The unique of this line-up is that racer can control the car's acceleration through the R/C system, in a way that it can be described as 'a slot car with no wire and has four-wheel-drive'. Most of the cars in the line-up are licensed real-life road cars and race cars.
Sadly, the line-up was discontinued a year after its introduction, following the lack of interest as well as parts imcompatibility between the eariler GUP and R/C Mini 4WD cars. Mini 4WD cars would be later re-introduced with the Mini 4WD PRO series two years later.
