Eleglitter Summary: Eye-Catching Looks with Race Potential

The Tamiya 18100 Eleglitter brings Kota Nezu styling to a compact race platform, delivering a model that is both visually striking and ripe for performance tuning by hobby racers.

Design Lines and Functional Styling

The body features swept aerodynamics paired with light blue wheels and grey aero-disc pieces that reduce drag while giving a modern finish. You can remove the front and rear fenders to shift balance or to run larger tyres for more grip on varied surfaces.

VZ Chassis Strengths

The VZ chassis is built to be light but stiff, offering a stable foundation for tight turns and responsive handling. Its layout makes it straightforward to try common tuning options without extensive modification.

Upgrade Routes for Better Lap Times

Speed and acceleration improve with changes to motor, tyre choice, and gearing. The Eleglitter accepts motors such as Torque Tuned and Atomic Tuned to boost performance, and adding dampers can smooth high-speed cornering.

Assembly Ease and Race Compatibility

Assembly is simple thanks to snap-fit construction and pre-coloured parts that look good straight from the box. The kit is compatible with standard Mini 4WD tracks, making it handy for club nights and informal races.
