The Tamiya JR Heat Edge 18636 sits in the Mini 4WD PRO Series with a profile inspired by prototype racers. The sculpted bodywork includes distinct bumper canards and a full-length shark fin that runs from the cockpit to the rear, improving high-speed stability and straight-line control on race circuits.
The MA chassis is the foundation of this kit, moulded from sturdy grey ABS plastic for reliable durability. Its integrated double-shaft motor layout gives effective power transfer to the drivetrain, and the chassis accepts a wide range of tuning parts so racers can dial in performance for different track types.
Owners can tailor the Heat Edge with common upgrades like higher RPM motors and alternative gear ratios for top speed changes. Swapping low-profile tyres for specific compounds helps grip on varied surfaces, while small weight adjustments and added dampers refine cornering balance.
Assembly is straightforward thanks to the snap-fit components, but you will need basic modelling tools. The kit includes a 130 motor and decal sheet, while a small Phillips screwdriver and plastic side cutters will make the build cleaner and faster.
Whether you are learning setup basics or refining lap times, the Tamiya JR Heat Edge offers a solid platform. Its aerodynamic shell and adaptable MA chassis make it a practical choice for club racing and casual track sessions.
