Meet the Tamiya JR Tri Gale on the MA Platform

The Tamiya JR Tri Gale sits on the MA chassis to deliver a compact, aerodynamic racer that responds well to tuning. It is suitable for hobbyists who like to tweak setups for different track conditions.

Styling and Aerodynamic Cues

With a low profile, covered front wheels and a delta wing, the bodywork reduces drag and channels airflow cleanly. The look is inspired by contemporary high performance machines.

MA Chassis Design Highlights

The MA or Mid-ship Aero chassis fuses MS double-shaft motor benefits with AR-inspired aero features. The single-piece layout simplifies fitting parts while maintaining chassis strength under load.

How to Upgrade for Racing

Fit various motor types, alter tyre compounds, and tune gear ratios to match your track. Consider lightweight rollers and stabilisers to manage corner transitions and improve lap times.

Building the Kit and Personal Touches

As a snap-fit kit with coloured components, the Tri Gale is straightforward to assemble and easy to personalise with the supplied decals if you prefer minimal painting.

For racers looking for an aero-aware Mini 4WD with clear upgrade paths, the Tamiya 18638 JR Tri Gale MA Chassis is a practical option that rewards setup changes.

The kit performs well on both surfaces with the right tyre compound and gear ratio; hard tyres for concrete, softer for carpet for more grip.
Lightweight reinforcement around mounting points can help in rough races, but keep weight gains minimal to preserve performance.
Changing to a motor that matches your track and testing a few gear ratios is usually the most effective first upgrade.
Inspect gears, shafts and bearings after several runs or any heavy impacts to avoid unexpected failures during competition.
