Nitro Thunder 18607 - MS Chassis Breakdown

The Tamiya 18607 Nitro Thunder uses the MS chassis to offer a compact, tuneable Mini 4WD platform aimed at racers who like to tweak setup. The mid-ship motor positioning, with batteries flanking the motor, helps maintain a low and central center of gravity. The chassis splits into three detachable modules so you can adapt the layout quickly for different track types while the ABS shell mirrors the rugged look of Nitro Thunder and Nitro Force buggies.

Powertrain and Chassis Function

Equipped with a new double shaft Type 130 motor, the MS chassis transmits drive directly to the front and rear axles without a propeller shaft. This reduces mechanical drag and supports stronger acceleration. Replaceable front and rear chassis pieces allow targeted setup changes for club or time attack events.

Modding and Parts Support

The model works with many Tamiya tune-up parts, so you can fit performance rollers, gears, or stabilisers to match your racing strategy. Its modular design makes it straightforward to test different configurations between runs.

  • Scale: 1/32
  • Material: ABS Plastic
  • Motor: Type 130 double shaft motor
  • Battery Requirement: Two R6/AA/UM3 batteries (sold separately)
Use two standard R6/AA/UM3 batteries; choose high quality cells for consistent power during race runs.
Yes, the three-piece MS design is intended for quick swaps so you can adjust ride height, clearance, or stiffness between heats.
Common upgrades include lighter rollers, tuned gears, and reinforced chassis parts to improve stability and reduce lap times.
The ABS body can be painted with suitable plastic paints; test paints on a scrap piece first and allow proper curing before racing.
