While I do enjoy collecting all the new Tamiya Mini 4WD rides, I especially like the Year of and Holiday versions the most. This new kit – the Year of the Horse 2026 – was certainly on my list – Super II chassis, shiny gold-plated wheels surrounded by clear tires and that hot Top Force EVO body set with special 2026 livery. Oh, and a Special Edition Horse figurine, too.

In this video, I crack open the box to show you what comes in this kit before taking it to Dukwho for a One-Make race! Hopefully I can pull of a victory before relegating it to shelf-queen status.

I hope you enjoy the video!
