Eleglitter Overview: Style and Track Potential

The Tamiya 18100 Eleglitter pairs a futuristic silhouette by Kota Nezu with race-minded details, giving Mini 4WD fans a model that balances looks and tuning potential. It fits collectors who admire design and racers who want a nimble chassis to tune.

Shell Styling and Aero Details

The Eleglitter body shows smooth aerodynamic lines with light blue wheels and gray aero-disc parts for a modern appearance. Removable front and rear fenders let you trim weight or clear larger tyres, helping you adapt the car to different circuit layouts.

VZ Platform Performance

The VZ chassis delivers a lightweight, rigid base that promotes quick handling and stable cornering. Its compact footprint makes the car responsive on technical courses, and the layout supports common Mini 4WD tuning changes.

Tuning Paths for Faster Runs

Performance can be improved by swapping motors, tyres, and gearing. The Eleglitter accepts popular upgrades like Torque Tuned and Atomic Tuned motors to boost acceleration and top speed. Adding dampers is a practical option to reduce instability in high-speed turns.

Build Process and Track Fit

Assembly uses snap-fit components for straightforward building, and the pre-moulded base colours mean a tidy finish without mandatory painting. The kit is compatible with standard Mini 4WD track formats, so it will slot into most club and casual race days.
