Tamiya 18609 Torcruiser 1/32 Mini 4WD PRO Model Kit

The Tamiya 18609 Torcruiser sits in the Mini 4WD PRO line as a compact racer that blends clever engineering with practical serviceability. Built around the MS chassis, its three-part detachable frame makes setup and maintenance straightforward while supporting chassis tuning for better lap times. The mid-ship motor arrangement, driven by a type 130 double shaft motor, helps balance mass and stabilise the car under speed.

The transparent polycarbonate body is lightweight and durable, letting builders show off masking and paintwork using polycarbonate paints. Small diameter wheels and a super speed 3.5:1 gear ratio favour high straight-line speed on competition lanes. Batteries fit either side of the motor to keep the center of gravity low for improved cornering.

  • Scale: 1/32
  • Material: Polycarbonate body
  • Motor: Type 130 double shaft
  • Chassis: MS Chassis
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1
The kit is aimed at hobbyists with basic modelling skills; the three-part MS chassis and clear assembly points make construction manageable for club racers and first-time Mini 4WD builders.
Yes, the MS chassis supports other Tamiya motors made for this platform. Swapping motors is a common way to change acceleration and top speed, but check gearing and battery fit before upgrading.
Use Tamiya polycarbonate paint designed for lexan-style shells. Thin coats and masking produce the neatest finish and preserve the shell's flexibility and clarity.
