The Tamiya 18718 K4 Gambol combines distinctive styling with practical race-ready details. Inspired by custom small trucks, this Mini 4WD stands out on the track with its unique silhouette and purposeful build.
The body comes moulded in Metallic Orange and is split into two sections to make two-tone painting straightforward. Separate animal guard and roll bar parts add character while suggesting extra toughness for rougher track features.
The FM-A layout places the motor at the front to shift weight forward for improved stability on undulating tracks. Aerodynamic shaping, a low-friction front skid bar and well-placed rollers, including 8mm thick rear rollers, help keep the car stable during fast sections.
Hobbyists can fit a wide range of Grade-Up Parts to tune performance. The basic setup uses a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, making it easy to experiment with different motors, tyres and gear sets to match specific track demands.
The snap-fit design and clear instructions make assembly straightforward for newcomers and fast for experienced builders. The chassis allows easy motor access for swaps and routine maintenance. The kit requires two AA batteries, sold separately.
The Tamiya 18718 K4 Gambol delivers a blend of style and tunability that appeals to both casual builders and competitive Mini 4WD racers. Its rugged looks and upgrade options make it versatile across different track formats.
