Tamiya 18094 Neo-VQS VZ Chassis 1/32 Mini 4WD Kit - Off-road inspired mini  [18094]

Brief on the Neo-VQS and its VZ base

The Tamiya 18094 Neo-VQS mounts a rally-buggy body on the VZ-Chassis platform, offering a tough and modular Mini 4WD package. It is aimed at builders who want a reliable chassis to modify for different race formats.

Body shape and race cues

Its buggy-style body features aerodynamic lines and a compact profile. Built from black ABS, the shell resists damage while supplied metallic stickers add race-ready accents for a convincing finished look.

Underbody and chassis layout

The VZ-Chassis provides controlled flex and reinforced points where it matters. The bumper and rear stay areas are strengthened, and the multi-piece, screw-attached rear roller stay plus front bumper let you fit FRP or carbon stays for bespoke setups.

Performance upgrades and setup tips

The model is well suited to common upgrades like motor swaps, tyre changes and gearing tweaks. It includes a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio. Low-profile tyres on red 5-spoke wheels and POM 620 plastic bearings support smooth, efficient running.

Assembly notes and circuit fit

Snap-fit construction reduces build time and helps newcomers get on the track quickly. The Neo-VQS is compatible with most Mini 4WD tracks, and its kit nature makes it straightforward to tailor for lap time improvements.

The Neo-VQS on the VZ-Chassis is a solid platform for hobbyists who want an adaptable, race-capable 1/32 Mini 4WD build.
