Neo Falcon short introduction

The Tamiya 18617 Neo Falcon brings a sharp, low-profile body to the Mini 4WD range with a look that hints at speed. Its compact silhouette is ideal for hobby racers focused on style and setup.

Sculpted body and race styling

Sharp lines and a coupe-like roofline give the Neo Falcon an aggressive stance. The design is made to look fast and to work well with aerodynamic tuning tweaks.

Why the MS chassis matters

The MS chassis uses a modular three-piece design and mid motor placement, which helps centralise mass and improves directional stability on technical sections.

Upgrade paths for racers

The model is friendly to common performance parts so you can adapt it to different tracks:

  • Motors: Fit higher output motors to push top speed where allowed.
  • Tires: Pick tyre types to suit cornering grip and straightline speed.
  • Gears: Swap gear sets to tune acceleration and maximum velocity.
  • Dampers: Add dampers to reduce bounce and help maintain traction.

Quick assembly notes

Assembly is designed to be simple with snap-fit components, meaning builders can focus on setup and upgrades rather than complex construction steps.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MS Chassis
  • Motor Compatibility: Double Shaft Type 130
  • Wheel Type: White Wheels with 16mm Rollers
  • Body Style: Aero Coupe

A balance of aggressive styling and upgrade flexibility makes the Neo Falcon a capable platform for both club racing and garage tuning sessions.

Yes, the kit's simple assembly and accessible upgrade paths make it a solid choice for learning how different parts affect handling and speed.
Start with tyres and a motor suited to your track, then adjust gear ratios and weight distribution to find the best compromise between acceleration and stability.
The aero coupe shell is robust for regular track use, but using body clips and careful handling during setup helps prevent cracks from impacts.
Yes, the MS chassis accommodates common roller and wheel sizes, so switching to different components is straightforward for tuning roll and cornering behaviour.
