Blast Arrow Mini 4WD - Track focused overview
The Tamiya 18647 Blast Arrow Mini 4WD Starter Pack delivers a balance of sharp styling and practical engineering for club racers and hobbyists. The kit highlights a race-inspired silhouette and parts suited to tuning for speed and reliability on timed circuits.
Sleek bodywork and aerodynamic intent
The Blast Arrow comes with a white, low-drag body shaped for reduced air resistance. Its profile borrows cues from modern racing cars to help maintain momentum through straights and sweepers while keeping a race-ready look.
MA chassis layout and advantages
The MA (Midship AERO) Chassis defines the Blast Arrow, with the motor mounted centrally to improve balance and handling. The chassis features six low-friction rollers and a monocoque frame that eases assembly and routine maintenance, making it a good match for both those new to Mini 4WD and experienced tuners.
Tuning and race upgrade path
The starter pack includes race-oriented components that form a solid tuning base. Included are a Torque-Tuned 2 motor, super hard black tyres, a brake set, front under guard, mass dampers, and FRP plates for front and rear. These parts let drivers refine setup for specific track layouts and grip levels.
