Tamiya 18711 Trairong FM-A Chassis: Styled for Speed and Stability

The Tamiya 18711 Trairong blends a bold tricolor livery with practical race geometry, giving Mini 4WD fans a model that looks aggressive and adapts well to setup changes. The bodywork channels airflow while showcasing the Thong Trairong palette.

Heritage-Inspired Body with Durable Materials

The Trairong uses robust red ABS for its body panels and highlights the tricolor theme in its decal set. The sculpted front fenders and sweeping lines are hawk-inspired, providing a low profile that helps reduce drag and keeps the car visually striking on the pit table.

FM-A Chassis Focused on Handling

Built on the FM-A chassis, this kit places the motor at the front to improve turn-in and traction on technical sections. The layout encourages balance tuning and accepts a range of race parts for riders chasing sharper cornering and stable straight-line speed.

Practical Upgrade Paths

Owners can fit higher rpm motors, track-specific tyres, and gear ratios to suit different circuits. The FM-A platform also supports weight distribution tweaks and damping add-ons for improved lap consistency across varied track surfaces.

Simple Build with Common Power Needs

Assembly is straightforward with snap-fit components so newcomers can complete the build quickly. The kit requires two R6/AA/UM3 batteries, which are sold separately.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: FM-A
  • Body Style: Aerodynamic Hawk-inspired
  • Motor Compatibility: Standard 130 single-shaft motors
  • Wheel Type: Standard size for versatile track use

The Tamiya 18711 Trairong is a standout Mini 4WD for hobbyists who value distinctive livery and a chassis that welcomes performance tuning. Its FM-A layout and upgrade flexibility make it a solid pick for club racing and practice sessions.

This is my 3rd and largest order from RC Jaz so far and I have to say I've been very impressed with this store. Everything arrived in perfect shape and order, very well packaged and delivered quickly bearing in mind this had to come from the other sid
The kit is mounted on the FM-A chassis, which places the motor at the front for improved turn-in and traction on tighter sections of a track.
Racers often fit higher rpm 130 single-shaft motors and experiment with softer or high-grip tyres depending on the track to balance acceleration and cornering.
Yes, the snap-fit design keeps assembly accessible for beginners while leaving room for more advanced tuning as skills grow.
You will need two R6/AA/UM3 batteries to power the model; these are not included in the kit.
