Tamiya 18641 Shooting Proud Star MA Chassis Mini 4WD Kit - Performance-focused build  [18641]

Overview of the Shooting Proud Star

The Tamiya 18641 Shooting Proud Star stands out in the Mini 4WD lineup, taking cues from the classic Dash-3 Emperor. Its streamlined canopy and sculpted rear give it a race-ready silhouette that suits high speed running.

Streamlined Body and Styling

The model uses tough ABS plastic for a low, wide body that reads like a tiny racer. Its profile is built to cut air and the included decal sheet lets builders personalise the look for club runs and events.

MA Chassis Dynamics

The MA chassis is a core reason this kit performs well. The midship motor layout improves front-to-rear balance, giving consistent handling through corners and stable high-speed sections.

Performance Upgrades and Tuning

Racers can fine-tune the Shooting Proud Star with uprated motors, different tyre compounds, and gear tweaks. The stock 4:1 gear ratio is a reliable starting point, while the double shaft motor layout supports smooth power delivery.

Setup Tips for Different Tracks

Its durable construction makes the Shooting Proud Star adaptable to many Mini 4WD circuits. Adjust tyre choices and gearing to match asphalt, plastic, or mixed-surface layouts for best lap times.

The Tamiya 18641 Shooting Proud Star combines a striking aero body with MA chassis engineering, offering a strong base for hobbyists who want to tune and race competitively.
