Tamiya 18011 Fire Dragon Jr. - Type-1 Overview

The Tamiya 18011 Fire Dragon Jr. brings classic Mini 4WD styling to a compact 1/32 scale package, aimed at both collectors and builders. This kit captures the silhouette of the original Fire Dragon R/C model mounted on the dependable Type-1 chassis, and its straightforward assembly makes it friendly for newcomers while still appealing to experienced hobbyists.

Body Styling and Custom Options

The Fire Dragon Jr. shows off a recognisable body profile that echoes the original R/C design. The kit includes white wheels fitted with black spike tires to balance looks and grip, plus a sticker sheet so builders can personalise the finish to their taste.

Type-1 Chassis and Running Notes

The Type-1 chassis offers a simple, robust platform that is easy to work on and tune for light performance. It is not aimed at high-level competitive racing, but it is ideal for display pieces and casual racing sessions. A Type 130 motor is supplied, giving reliable basic drive for track use or shelf display.

  • Scale: 1/32
  • Material: Plastic body
  • Motor: Type 130 included
  • Batteries: Requires two AA batteries (sold separately)

How difficult is the assembly for this kit?

Assembly is fairly straightforward and suits hobbyists of varied experience. The small scale and snap-fit style components make it a good step up for first time builders.

Can I upgrade the motor later on?

The kit includes a Type 130 motor, and many builders swap it for higher torque or higher speed motors. Check the Type-1 chassis space and wiring before fitting aftermarket motors.

What surfaces work best with the included spike tires?

The black spike tires perform well on smooth indoor tracks and plastic circuits. They also give usable grip on compacted outdoor surfaces, but are not optimised for loose gravel or mud.
