Daihatsu Copen RMZ styling adapted for the VS chassis

The Tamiya 18081 brings the futuristic Daihatsu Copen RMZ to Mini 4WD scale. The kit emphasises modular panels and modern lines, offering a flexible platform for tuning and cosmetics.

Design cues and construction

The model captures the Copen RMZ's sharp profile in white ABS, giving a durable yet light shell that takes decals and paint well for customised looks.

VS chassis - agility in a compact package

The VS chassis is compact and light, offering a low center of gravity for improved handling. Its layout is user-friendly for routine maintenance and quick part swaps.

Upgrades and setup advice

  • Motors: Compatible with commonly available 130 single-shaft motors to tailor speed and torque.
  • Tires and Wheels: Low-profile tyres or slicks are recommended based on track grip and surface.
  • Gears: Adjust gear ratios to find the best compromise between acceleration and top end.
  • Dampers: Adding dampers can reduce pitching and enhance control on flowing circuits.

Assembly essentials

Basic modelling tools such as a small Phillips screwdriver and plastic cutters are all you need to put this kit together. It aligns with standard Tamiya Mini 4WD track rules and dimensions.

Yes, the ABS body can be trimmed and fitted with lightweight aero pieces. Reinforce mounting points if you add extra components.
Place small weights centrally and low to keep the center of gravity down. Avoid heavy rear bias which can induce understeer on some tracks.
Yes, many tuners offer aftermarket gears, rollers and damper kits that are compatible with the VS layout to improve handling and reliability.
Clean gears and bearings, check mesh and fasteners, and inspect the ABS body for cracks. Replace worn tyres to keep lap times consistent.
