Tamiya 18645 Silwolf MA Chassis Mini 4WD Kit - Tunable Track Racer  [18645]

Introducing the Tamiya 18645 Silwolf: Compact speed and balance

The Tamiya 18645 Silwolf sits high in the Mini 4WD line-up for builders who want a mix of style and track performance. Built around the MA chassis, it offers a stable platform that appeals to both weekend hobbyists and club competitors.

Bodywork and aerodynamic intent

The Silwolf uses a touring car influenced body with a low profile and clean surfaces. Its black finish with silver highlights provides a purposeful look while reducing drag, helping the car stay composed through fast sections.

MA chassis layout and handling

The MA chassis places the motor near the centre to even out weight distribution, improving balance through corners. The kit supports a double shaft motor for reliable power delivery that suits sprint and endurance style laps.

Upgrade options and wheel choice

There is plenty of scope for upgrades on the Silwolf. Swapping the motor or fitting alternative tyres can change the handling dramatically. The kit includes 26mm low-profile tyres that give good grip on sealed and rubberised tracks, and the smaller wheels aid rapid acceleration out of bends.

Setting gears and chassis tweaks

The standard 3.5:1 gear ratio gives a middle ground between top speed and acceleration, useful across mixed layouts. The MA chassis accepts many aftermarket parts, allowing racers to tune roll stiffness, weight balance and aerodynamic aids for local track conditions.

Practical and adaptable, the Tamiya 18645 Silwolf offers a solid starting point for racers who plan to tweak setup and parts. Its combination of chassis stability and upgrade potential makes it a dependable choice for track work.
