Tamiya 18638 JR Tri Gale MA Chassis Mini 4WD Race Kit  [18638]

Overview of the Tamiya 18638 JR Tri Gale on the MA Chassis

The Tamiya JR Tri Gale brings a compact race focus to the MA chassis platform, combining efficient drive layout with aero-driven bodywork. This kit is built to balance low drag and solid straight-line speed for competitive Mini 4WD racing.

Design and Front-End Styling

Drawing from high performance sports car shapes, the Tri Gale has enclosed front wheels and a delta wing profile. Those details help reduce airflow turbulence and give the car a sharp track-ready silhouette.

MA Chassis Engineering Notes

The MA chassis, or Mid-ship Aero format, merges the double-shaft motor efficiency of MS types with AR-style aerodynamic benefits. Its one-piece construction keeps maintenance simple while retaining rigidity for high speed runs.

Tuning Paths and Upgrade Choices

Builders can fit a range of motors, including torque-oriented options, and swap in different tyres, gear ratios, and rollers for track-specific setups. Targeted upgrades will improve cornering stability and acceleration on tighter circuits.

Kit Assembly and Finishing

This is a snap-together kit with coloured parts, so painting is optional and decals are supplied for quick customisation. The simple build makes it suitable for hobbyists upgrading their first race car.

Overall, the Tamiya 18638 JR Tri Gale MA Chassis is a practical choice for club racers who want a tunable Mini 4WD with aerodynamic focus and straightforward upkeep.
