Quick look at the Tamiya Neo Falcon

The Tamiya 18617 Neo Falcon blends a futuristic silhouette with Mini 4WD racing DNA. Its low, sharp bodywork provides a race-ready appearance while staying true to classic Mini 4WD lines.

Aerodynamic styling and real car cues

The Neo Falcon showcases aggressive aero shaping inspired by high performance vehicles. Those sharp contours help manage airflow and create a purposeful track profile.

MS Chassis performance features

Mounted on the MS chassis, the model benefits from a modular three-piece layout and a midship motor position for balanced weight distribution and improved stability through corners.

Tuning and upgrade options

Racers can tune the Neo Falcon with a range of common upgrades, including:

  • Motors: Compatible with high-performance motors for increased speed.
  • Tires: Options for low-profile or slick tires to suit different track conditions.
  • Gears: Various gear ratios available to optimize acceleration and top speed.
  • Dampers: Install dampers to improve handling and cornering stability.

Build and assembly tips

The kit uses snap-fit parts so no glue is required, making assembly straightforward for newcomers while still giving experienced builders room to refine setup and parts placement.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MS Chassis
  • Motor Compatibility: Double Shaft Type 130
  • Wheel Type: White Wheels with 16mm Rollers
  • Body Style: Aero Coupe

A good balance of eye-catching design and tuning potential, the Neo Falcon is well suited to both competitive Mini 4WD racing and collection shelves.

The MS chassis offers a modular layout and midship motor placement, which helps with balanced weight and predictable handling at speed.
For tighter layouts, choose a motor that favours acceleration over raw top speed and match gear ratios to the track sections for better lap times.
The kit specification lists white wheels with 16mm rollers, so you have a solid base to start tuning the chassis roll behaviour.
Start with the recommended parts and a medium gear ratio, then run short test sessions to tweak tire choice and weight placement for better cornering.
