Tamiya 18640 Raikiri MA Chassis 1/32 Mini 4WD Kit - Precision Mini Racer  [18640]

Tamiya 18640 Raikiri Overview: Balance and Track Focus

The Tamiya 18640 Raikiri blends sleek styling with practical track performance, drawing on design input from Kota Nezu to deliver a compact racer with clear handling intent.

Streamlined ABS Body

The Raikiri uses tough ABS plastic for a light but durable shell that slices through air while resisting everyday wear. Its low profile and sculpted lines reduce drag and help keep lap times consistent.

MA Chassis and Midship Motor Layout

At the core is the MA Chassis with a midship motor position for improved weight balance. The single-piece chassis is built to resist excessive flex, which helps maintain stable cornering at higher speeds.

Tuning and Upgrade Options

Enthusiasts can personalise the Raikiri by fitting higher performance motors like Torque Tuned or Hyper Dash, selecting low-profile tyres, and adjusting gear ratios for different tracks. Dampers and other stability parts can be added to refine handling.

Easy Assembly and Track Compatibility

The snap-fit construction keeps building straightforward, making the kit accessible to newcomers while remaining compatible with standard Mini 4WD race formats and upgrades.

The Tamiya 18640 Raikiri delivers a good blend of toughness and tuneability, making it a smart choice for racers who want a reliable base for setup work.
