Hexagonite overview and engineering focus

The Tamiya 18653 Hexagonite blends distinctive hexagonal styling with practical engineering, producing a body that improves airflow while keeping a race-oriented silhouette. Its design is aimed at hobbyists who value both looks and track performance.

Body character and aerodynamic notes

The Hexagonite shows sharp geometry and angled surfaces that echo rally-inspired machines. These geometric lines help manage airflow over the shell and give the model an assertive stance on the track.
