Introducing the Tamiya 18630 JR Dash-3 Shooting Star

The Tamiya 18630 JR Dash-3 Shooting Star pairs iconic bodywork with the practical MS chassis to create a Mini 4WD that is both collectible and performance-ready. The silhouette recalls the Dash Yonkuro lineage while offering modern tuning potential.

Shell Design and Airflow

The retro aero body is crafted to slice through airflow efficiently, improving straight-line speed and helping stability in fast sections. Its classic profile also makes it a standout on the display shelf.

MS Chassis - Balance and Modularity

With a double-shaft motor layout, the MS chassis gives reliable handling and straightforward options for adjusting weight and geometry. Its modular parts make it a favourite for racers refining setup and balance.

Performance Upgrades to Try

Popular upgrades include higher performance motors, low-profile tyres to increase traction, and finer gear ratios for better acceleration. The MS platform supports a wide selection of Grade-Up Parts for tailored performance.

Build Experience and Styling Tips

Assembly is user friendly thanks to snap-fit components, and while many parts are pre-coloured, builders often add decals or touch-up paint to personalise their car.
