Tamiya 18623 - Savanna Leo: Bold Shell with Racing Focus

The Tamiya 18623 Savanna Leo showcases a bold, animal-inspired body based on Hidemasa Komatsu's anniversary-winning design. It brings a distinctive aesthetic while remaining rooted in Mini 4WD performance principles.

Chassis Setup and Styling Cues

Mounted on the MS chassis with a mid-mounted Type 130 motor, the Savanna Leo aims for balanced handling and reliable speed delivery. The model uses an N-02 nose unit and larger dish wheels suited to high-speed layouts, and the shell is compatible across MS chassis variants for custom projects.

Assembly, Gear Ratio and Power

The kit is built around a 3-piece detachable chassis that snaps together without glue, running with a 4:1 gear ratio to favour acceleration and top-end speed. Two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries are required and are sold separately, and the platform invites straightforward tuning for tougher tracks.

Is the Savanna Leo good for high-speed tracks?

Yes, the MS chassis combined with the mid-mounted Type 130 motor and large dish wheels makes the Savanna Leo well suited to circuits that reward straight-line speed and stability.

Can I paint the body after assembly?

The body can be painted prior to final assembly for best results. Use hobby paints recommended for ABS plastics and mask carefully to preserve the detailed styling.

What small upgrades give the biggest improvement?

Upgrading to low-friction rollers, better tyres, and a higher quality motor are common, cost-effective steps that noticeably improve lap times and stability.
