Tamiya 18708 Night Hunter FM-A Mini 4WD Kit - Urban Racer  [18708]

Tamiya Night Hunter overview

The Tamiya Night Hunter blends bold styling with practical engineering in the Mini 4WD lineup. Built on the FM-A chassis, it delivers a mix of stability and speed that appeals to both casual builders and competitive club racers.

Sculpted aerodynamic bodywork

The bodywork on the Night Hunter is sculpted for airflow and reduced drag. Its racing-inspired lines are designed to help the car stay planted at speed while minimising resistance around corners.

FM-A front midship layout

The FM-A chassis places the motor toward the front for a lower center of gravity and improved handling on varied track features. Notable design touches include a front skid bar, multiple rollers and easy motor access for maintenance.

Tuning and upgrade options

Builders can personalise the Night Hunter with common Mini 4WD upgrades, such as:

• Motors: Fit a range of higher-performance motors to raise top speed and acceleration.
• Tires: Swap in low-profile or slick tyres to match different track surfaces.
• Gears: Change gear ratios to fine-tune the balance between acceleration and top-end pace.
• Dampers: Add improved dampers to sharpen cornering and reduce bounce.

Build and setup notes

The kit assembles with straightforward snap-fit parts and clear layouts, making it suitable for newcomers while still offering scope for experienced tuners to refine handling and performance.

With its FM-A underpinnings and race-minded body, the Tamiya Night Hunter is a versatile Mini 4WD choice for builders who want both style and tunability on the track.
