Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!! (Japanese: 爆走兄弟レッツ&ゴー!!, Hepburn: Bakusō Kyōdai Rettsu Endo Gō!!^?) is a manga series created by Tetsuhiro Koshita, first serialized in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic magazine from July 1994 to October 1999. The manga centers on Retsu and Go Seiba, twin brothers who focus on the world of miniature car racing. It is created as a tie-in to Tamiya's Mini 4WD franchise (Mainly Fully Cowled, Mechanical and Aero), and it is the second series to center on the franchise since Dash! Yonkuro.

Three anime Adaptations of the manga were produced by Xebec from 1996 to 1998, each of which consisting of three 51-episode series, and was also made into several games. The series also released various merchandise, including CDs, trading cards, stickers, and even die-cast cars. In 2015, a sequel series, Return Racers, began serialization in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Aniki magazine, 20 years after the original series' serialization.

Two boys, Retsu and Go, begin their dreams to become Mini 4WD racers. It begins when Dr. Tsuchiya gave them two fully cowled cars: Sonic Saber and Magnum Saber. Along the way, they met friends, rivals, the Sagami family, the Mikuni group, the Takaba brothers and J, former member of the Ogami Corps, led by Dr. Ogami, the rival to Dr. Tsuchiya, and his three henchmen - Kai, Gen, and Rei, who advocated for more gladiatorial style of racing, something the protagonists heavily oppose. Following the defeat of Ogami, the original gang would participate in a World Grand Prix against Mini 4WD teams around the world.

The manga series originally ran serially in CoroCoro Comic starting in the June 1994 issue through the October 1999 issue. A sequel, titled Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!! Return Racers!! (爆走兄弟レッツ&ゴー!! Return Racers!!, Bakusō Kyōdai Rettsu Endo Gō!! Return Racers!!^?), began serialization on Coro Coro Aniki in late 2014. The new series depicted Go's and Retsu's life 20 years following the end of the original series, as well as new flashback stories.
