Tamiya 18618 - JR Keen Hawk: Track-Focused Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 18618 JR Keen Hawk brings a modern silhouette to the Mini 4WD range, built on the adaptable MS chassis. The mid-mounted motor helps centralise mass for more predictable handling, while the pronounced roof vent contributes to the model's aggressive profile and airflow management.

Design and Aerodynamics

The MS chassis used on the JR Keen Hawk offers flexibility for tuning. It features the N-02 nose unit which sharpens turn-in and enhances stability on fast sections. The silver bodywork pairs with large white wheels to create a clean, race-ready aesthetic that is easy to personalise.

Assembly and Upgrades

Construction is glue-free and approachable, making this kit friendly to a range of skill levels. A Type 130 motor is supplied; two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries are required but not included. The MS layout allows for straightforward upgrades and component swaps when you want to refine speed or handling.

Can I fit different wheel types to this chassis?

Yes, the MS chassis accepts a variety of wheel and tyre combinations. Swapping wheel size or compound can change grip levels and rolling resistance depending on the track.

What maintenance should I do after running?

Wipe dust from gears and axles, check for loose screws, and inspect the motor and bearings. Regular cleaning and light lubrication on moving parts keeps performance consistent.

Is the motor included competitive for timed runs?

The included Type 130 motor provides a reliable baseline for club and casual runs. For faster timed performance, racers typically upgrade to sport or high speed motor variants compliant with event rules.
