Tamiya 18608 Mini4 Nitro Force MS Chassis Kit  [18608]

Tamiya 18608 Mini4 Nitro Force MS Chassis Overview

The Tamiya 18608 Mini4 Nitro Force is a notable entry in Tamiya's 1/32 Mini 4WD lineup, built around the adaptable MS chassis. This scale model uses a three-part detachable construction to simplify maintenance and change setup quickly. The mid-ship motor layout driven by a Type 130 double shaft motor sends power directly to the wheels without a propeller shaft and helps keep the centre of gravity balanced. The Nitro Force body is moulded from durable ABS plastic with buggy-inspired styling for track resilience and visual appeal.

MS Chassis Features and Handling

The MS chassis is designed for flexible setup changes, allowing racers to swap front and rear modules to match different track profiles. That modular design makes repairs straightforward and opens up tuning options for handling and roll response. Placing batteries on either side of the motor lowers the centre of gravity and improves stability when carrying speed through corners.

Upgrade Path and Parts Compatibility

This Mini4 Nitro Force accepts a broad range of Tamiya Tune-Up Parts and accessories, so builders can refine gearing, grip, and durability to suit race conditions or display needs. Its parts compatibility makes it a good platform for progression from basic setup to more advanced tuning.
