Description Seeing that I'm on a roll in regards to these Mini 4wd Cars recently, Its time for one more and probably one that I have already made before all the other cars. This was done during March and its for my Charmander OC Amy however I wanted to give her another Bakusou Kyoudai based Racer but nothing really came to mind so I researched further and found out that there was another Mini 4wd way before Bakusou Kyoudai called Dash Yonkuro and I think I sort of remembered watching this series when I was a kid. Regardless, I found the perfect racer for Amy and no its not Street Racer worthy and not Off road worthy but actually a mix of both. Ladies and Gents I give to you the best of both worlds in the form of Dragon Empress

LOOKS:

While the name is pretty impressive the Dragon Empress is actually based on the Rise Emperor, An upgraded and more modernized form of the Emperor which is the main character's Machine. It is painted in this amazing scarlet red with Yellow Stripes on the sides and a nice silver finish for some of the parts. Amy also kept the original DASH! Grafitti on the wing and she also added a 7 Emblem on the sides to let everyone know this is her Vehicle. To top it off, The Dragon Empress is outfitted with the same chassis the Flame Kaiser and the Blaze Striker came with as well as new rollers, Wheels and Tires making it a true Racer for both the track and off road

PARTS:

BODY - Much like I said before, The Dragon Empress body provides a combination of Off road capability while still looking sporty. It is painted in this combo of Scarlet red and Yellow with some silver on some parts. The Headlights do work as well as the off road lights and there's grafitti on the wing that says DASH! and on the sides is a 7 emblem indicating that its her car

CHASSIS - Even though the kit Fuse Bought for Amy was complete and had a chassis, Amy went for a 3D Printed version. It was then of course painted Black with Orange dot indicators to put your dampeners and or other accessories. And best of all, this also has the same Drift mechanic as the Flame Kaiser and the Blaze Striker but to make sure it can be used for Off road, This very system has been upgraded to be durable enough to handle any road condition

MOTOR - The Motor Amy chose is a Torque Based to really give all that power to the wheels when it comes to off roading. It is also best used for racing as well and has an extra item on it known as a Motor Cooling Shield which dissipates Heat and prevent any drop in Motor Performance. This was something both Fuse and Pyrus overlooked and if you are off roading while at the same time Racing for the championship, Yeah I think I can see why this part is important

GEARS - To go along with the Torque Motor Amy sticked to the original 4.1 Gear set that the Rise Emperor came with. She will later then upgrade this gear set to a high speed gear set for the Galaxy Grand Prix

WHEELS AND TIRES - The wheels on the Dragon are in this weird 6 spoke pattern which Amy calls, Dragon Flame Wheels which are designed to look intimidating according to My Charmander. And running these Dragon Flame Wheels are sick Crimson red All Terrain Tires which are perfect for both Track Racing and Off road

ROLLERS - Unlike the previous three cars this one has a pair of Dragon Flame Rollers that really match with the theme of the car. These also provide good cornering in case that drift function gimmick is not enough or when it breaks down

OPTIONAL PARTS:

GOLD PLATED TERMINAL

STABILIZER POLES

RACING REAR BRAKE AND ROLLER SET

FRONT STAY SET
