<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>The Mini 4WD originated in Japan in 1982, when toy manufacturer <a href="Tamiya_Corporation" title="Tamiya Corporation">Tamiya</a> introduced Mini 4WD race cars. A Mini 4WD race car is a 1:32 scale kit featuring four-wheel drive powered by an electric motor using a pair of <a href="AA_battery" title="AA battery">AA batteries</a>. A single electric motor turns both axles. These kits snap and screw together without the need for glue.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>By the late 1980s, the Mini 4WD hobby was well-established in Japan, and it began taking off in the United States as well. In February 1989, several American and Japanese companies unveiled their versions at the annual toy fair in New York.<sup id="cite_ref-NYMag_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYMag-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In late 1989, an average Japanese boy owned eight to 11 Mini 4WD cars.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By November 1989, <a href="Hasbro" title="Hasbro">Hasbro</a> introduced their <a href="Record_Breakers%3A_World_of_Speed" title="Record Breakers: World of Speed">Record Breakers: World of Speed</a> series of cars, imported from Japan. <a href="Mattel" title="Mattel">Mattel</a>, <a href="Matchbox" title="Matchbox">Matchbox</a>, and others were also expected to release their own versions.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>By the 2000s, many other companies had ventured into the Mini 4WD market, including <a href="Tokyo_Marui" title="Tokyo Marui">Tokyo Marui</a>, <a href="Kyosho" title="Kyosho">Kyosho</a>, <a href="Academy_Plastic_Model" title="Academy Plastic Model">Academy</a>, <a href="Aoshima_Bunka_Kyozai" title="Aoshima Bunka Kyozai">Aoshima Bunka Kyozai</a>, <a href="Matchbox_(brand)" title="Matchbox (brand)">Matchbox</a>, <a href="Revell" title="Revell">Revell</a>, <a href="Hot_Wheels" title="Hot Wheels">Hot Wheels</a>, <a href="Tonka" title="Tonka">Tonka</a>, <a href="Hasbro" title="Hasbro">Hasbro</a>, <a href="Auldey" class="mw-redirect" title="Auldey">Auldey</a> and <a href="Bandai" title="Bandai">Bandai</a>.
</p><p>On June 23, 2019, the Tamiya Mini 4WD Asia Challenge was held at the <a href="Glorietta" title="Glorietta">Glorietta</a> shopping mall in <a href="Makati" title="Makati">Makati</a>, Philippines. Over 200 participants (including 87 foreigners) attended the event.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> To commemorate the event, Tamiya released a 1:32 scale mini 4WD car of the distinctive <a href="Jeepney" title="Jeepney">Jeepney</a> named "Dyipne".<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>According to the <a href="Guinness_World_Records" title="Guinness World Records">Guinness World Records</a>, the world record for Longest Mini 4WD Track was created on
November 3, 2019 at 3,191.58 meters at Amagi Dome in <a href="Izu%2C_Shizuoka" title="Izu, Shizuoka">Izu, Shizuoka</a>, Japan. It took a Mini 4WD car 12 minutes to circle the entire track.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design">Design</h2></div>
<p>A standard Mini 4WD vehicle is made of plastic using a <a href="Body-on-frame" title="Body-on-frame">Body-on-frame</a> design. The <a href="Chassis" title="Chassis">chassis</a> contains the primary components including the AA batteries, motor, gearing, propeller shaft, drive axles, and wheels.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The body is purely decorative although some newer designs incorporate ducting to cool the motor. The body and chassis are made from hard plastics like <a href="Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene" title="Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene">ABS</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Side rollers along the front, center, or rear of the vehicle are used to guide the vehicle around a U-shaped track.<sup id="cite_ref-About_Mini_4WD_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-About_Mini_4WD-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Upgrading">Upgrading</h2></div>
<p>Because of the modular design, nearly all the components can be swapped and change the performance of the vehicle. This allows the owner to customize the performance of the vehicle to the particular track.
</p><p>Higher specification motors can be used to replace the standard FA-130 type motor. There are three specifications that characterize all motors: <a href="Revolutions_per_minute" title="Revolutions per minute">RPM</a>, <a href="Torque" title="Torque">torque</a>, and power-consumption.<sup id="cite_ref-TechTips_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TechTips-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> RPM is the speed the motor provides, and the torque its strength. A higher RPM means higher maximum speed, higher torque gives more acceleration and allows the car to better withstand the difficulties of climbing slopes or running through turns.
</p><p>Gears can also be replaced with sets with different ratios. Common ratios include (3.5:1), (3.7:1), (4:1), (4.2:1), (5:1), and "Special" (ratio varies but is usually 6.4:1). The higher the ratio, the better the acceleration rate and torque; the lower the ratio, the better the maximum speed.<sup id="cite_ref-TechTips_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TechTips-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<p>In a standard car, the left and right wheels are on a fixed axle. Special one-way wheels can be added to allow the left and right wheels to rotate at different speeds acting as a <a href="Differential_(mechanical_device)" title="Differential (mechanical device)">differential</a>, to allow for improved cornering performance.<sup id="cite_ref-About_Mini_4WD_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-About_Mini_4WD-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In addition, upgrade parts such as bumper width extensions, stabilizers, and brakes can be added that aid in the car's performance through corners, banked turns, elevation changes, and jumps.<sup id="cite_ref-About_Mini_4WD_12-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-About_Mini_4WD-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The "Street Mini 4WD" (Japanese: "ストリートミニ四駆") is a racing sport activity that combines modeling with physical running. The athlete, in this sport, runs and drives a Mini 4WD. The model car is driven using "a guide stick".
</p><p>The athletes then run alongside their models, controlling them and making them turn left or right using the guide stick.
</p><p>Born in Italy in 1994 and affiliate CSEN (italian National Educational Sports Center) from 2023, Street Mini 4WD is a sport practiced in various countries around the world.
</p><p>The Street Mini 4WD is a physical activity that involves running, coordination of movements and proprioception.
</p><p>Street Mini 4WD athletes have the opportunity to learn technical basic concepts about how model cars work.
</p><p>Although the Mini 4WD cars were produced in Japan, the street races have obtain a lot of interest in Italy where racers runs for many years in this kind of competitions as well as in the usual on-track ones.
</p><p>The street racing in Italy employ a regulation based on the official Tamiya race regulation, but there aren't restricted to only Tamiya models and Grade-Up Parts. (For example, the use of battery from the other brands is allowed.)
