Tamiya 18654 - Toyota Gazoo WRT/Yaris: Compact rally replica

The Tamiya 18654 Toyota Gazoo WRT/Yaris Mini 4WD captures the look of the 2019 rally car in a compact, buildable kit. Based on the MA (Midship AERO) chassis, this kit balances attractive scale detail with parts aimed at reliable on-track performance.

MA chassis - midship layout for balance

The MA chassis places the motor centrally to help even out weight distribution and improve aerodynamic flow. It comes fitted with six low-friction rollers and a rear skid bar to aid stability at speed. The monocoque style frame reduces assembly complexity, making it a friendly project for new builders and a practical base for experienced tuners.

Scale styling and component set

The model reproduces the Yaris WRC silhouette through a four-piece body set, including a detailed nose section and separate rear wing. Silver dish wheels and low-profile black tyres give an authentic stance. The kit includes a Type 130 double shaft motor for dependable baseline performance.

Upgrade paths and tuning options

Owners can refine handling and speed using a wide selection of Grade-Up Parts. From roller upgrades to lightweight components, there are options to tune the car for different track types or to refine its visual appeal.
