Tamiya 18066 JR Slash Reaper VS Chassis Mini 4WD Kit - Off-Road Spec  [18066]

Introducing the Slash Reaper Model

The Tamiya Slash Reaper brings together bold buggy-inspired styling and a VS chassis that focuses on agility. It is aimed at hobbyists who like to balance looks with practical tuning choices.

Exterior Design Highlights

The bodywork echoes off-road buggies with sharp contours and strategic vents to aid motor cooling and lower weight. The Gun Metal and Orange scheme creates a vivid contrast that stands out on the pit table.

Chassis: VS Explained

The VS platform is compact and light, delivering a short wheelbase that helps with quick directional changes. Front 16mm rollers with rubber rings add stability during fast corners, while the 4.2:1 gearing provides a sensible trade-off between acceleration and top speed.

Customisation and Parts Fitment

There is scope to upgrade motors, tyres and gears to match different course demands. The Slash Reaper body will also mount on MS and Super-II chassis for alternate setup options.

Build and Paint Tips

The snap-fit assembly makes this kit simple to put together, appropriate for builders at all levels. The moulded colours reduce the need for painting, though many enthusiasts choose to add their own finishes.

With its VS chassis and striking body, the Slash Reaper is a practical, tunable Mini 4WD that fits both racing and display collections.
