Rarity & Significance
Common but highly iconic. This was the very first model released in the 'Fully Cowled' series, which sparked a massive Mini 4WD global phenomenon in the mid-1990s. Its significance is primarily nostalgic for collectors of the anime series.
Special Features
Electric motor-driven (4WD), interchangeable parts with other Mini 4WD kits, signature flame sticker livery, and 'Go' (豪) kanji character on the hood.
Notable Variations
Re-released in 2010 as a 'Premium' version (Item 19431) on the Super-II chassis with metallic stickers. This specific item appears to be the original 1990s Super-1 chassis version due to the wheel design and bumper style.
