Overview of the Shadow Shark

The Tamiya 18704 JR Mini 4WD REV Shadow Shark presents a modern Formula style wrapped around an AR chassis engineered for aerodynamic efficiency. The kit balances visual accuracy with parts that support competitive tuning and reliable track performance.

Exterior and Aerodynamic Features

The body of the Shadow Shark borrows lines from current single seater racers, featuring a raised nose with an intake and a shark fin element behind the cockpit. Side pontoons and intake pods are shaped to assist airflow and stability at speed.

AR Chassis Highlights

The AR chassis delivers a low drag profile and a stiff platform for the Shadow Shark. Its modular layout allows quick access during setup changes and straightforward maintenance for both new builders and seasoned tuners.

Upgrade Paths and Parts

• Motors: Suits standard single-shaft high performance motors for more speed.
• Tires: Low profile tyre options help increase lateral grip on technical sections.
• Gears: Swappable gear ratios make it easier to tune acceleration versus top speed.
• Dampers: Add optional dampers to refine handling across different track surfaces.

Track Setup and Suitability

The Shadow Shark adapts well to a range of Mini 4WD layouts, from long straights to twisty courses. Thoughtful weight distribution and the AR chassis geometry help it stay stable through corners while remaining quick on the straights.

The Tamiya 18704 JR Mini 4WD REV Shadow Shark combines aerodynamic detailing with a practical AR chassis, making it a good platform for tuners who want to dial in handling and speed for race day.
