Track-ready JR Heat Edge overview

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.

MA chassis fundamentals

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.

Tuning and upgrade options

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.

Build notes and tips

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.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MA
  • Body Style: Prototype Racing Car
  • Wheel Type: Low-Profile Tires

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.

This is my 3rd and largest order from RC Jaz so far and I have to say I've been very impressed with this store. Everything arrived in perfect shape and order, very well packaged and delivered quickly bearing in mind this had to come from the other sid
The MA platform takes the standard Mini 4WD motor formats; the kit ships with a 130 motor and can be upgraded to higher performance 130-type motors for more speed.
Try softer tyre compounds for better contact, lower the centre of gravity where possible, and fine-tune weight distribution front to rear to stabilise turns over bumps.
Replacement body parts and sticker sheets are generally available from hobby dealers that stock Tamiya Mini 4WD parts; check local suppliers for inventory.
You will need a small Phillips screwdriver and plastic modelling side cutters at minimum, plus files or a hobby knife for trimming any excess plastic.
