The Dxn Sakura Cup is a Tamiya Mini 4WD point series of races that consists of a total of 5 races held between March through May, 2021. Of the 5 races, 3 will be scored in the Series, allowing competitive drivers to miss 2 races and still be in contention for the win.

To comply with current Pandemic restrictions, Dxn is also using a AM/PM Session system. This helps reduce the number or racers in the shop at one time while still allowing everyone a chance to run.

Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned racer, we welcome Mini 4WD enthusiasts of all skill levels and ages. Let’s have fun racing Tamiya Mini 4WD!

All 5 races will be held at Dxn Provisions in Arcadia Ca using the following schedule:
Round 1 - March 27th
Round 2 - April 10th
Round 3 - April 24th
Round 4 - May 8th
Round 5 - May 22nd

Please see the extended rules as well as more info on points, AM/PM Sessions, Proxy Racing and Scheduling on the Dxn Provisions site: https://dxnprovisions.com/dxn-sakura-cup-rules-and-regulations/

ABOUT THE MODEL

• This is a 1/10 scale R/C touring car chassis kit.

• Features Stepped-V shaped chassis which balances weight and rigidity.

• The battery pack and servo are positioned on a slight angle (about 10 degrees) to reduce surface contact and facilitate optimum weight distribution.

• Positioning spur gear in front of motor produces stable drivability.

• 2 belt-driven 4WD uses TRF420 gear differentials and steel TA07 differential joint cups.

• A-arm suspension arm gives your model a low center of gravity, enhanced with laid down dampers.

• Camber and caster angles are adjustable by turnbuckle shafts and lower arm spacers respectively.

• Comes with Super Short Big Bore size shock dampers.

• Universal shafts and full bearings give efficient drive.

• Rotating body mounts by 180 degrees switches between standard and 2mm advanced body positions.

Detailed information will be released on the Tamiya Inc. Youtube channel "Tamiya RC Live'' on Sunday March 14 (Japan Time-Saturday evening US time), with additional information on our Tamiya USA homepage on Sunday evening March 14. Please stay tuned!
