@geekeverday: Mini 4WD (Japanese: ミニ四駆, Hepburn: Mini Yonku) is a powered toy car generally 1:32 in scale equipped with 4WD. The cars are used for racing, built to run on a U-shaped track.[1] The Mini 4WD originated in Japan in 1982, when toy manufacturer Tamiya 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 AA batteries. A single electric motor turns both axles. These kits snap and screw together without the need for glue.[2] 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.[3] In late 1989, an average Japanese boy owned eight to 11 Mini 4WD cars.[4] By November 1989, Hasbro introduced their Record Breakers: World of Speed series of cars, imported from Japan. Mattel, Matchbox, and others also released their own versions. #mini4wd #fyp #гонки #игрушки #машинки
