Tamiya 18639 JR Abilista 1/32 MA Chassis Kit  [18639]

JR Abilista Brief for Tuners

The Tamiya JR Abilista, model number 18639, features a compact two-door coupe body crafted to lower aerodynamic drag. The rounded nose, sizeable fenders and twin rear spoilers are designed to improve airflow and accentuate the car's sporty profile.

Design Highlights of the MA Chassis

The MA chassis gives the Abilista an aerodynamic platform and centres a double-shaft 130 motor to help maintain balance. Its modular build makes assembly and routine maintenance straightforward for drivers at all experience levels.

Upgrade Paths and Tuning Ideas

To increase on-track performance, focus upgrades on these key areas:

• Motors: Experiment with motors that match your track - higher speed or better torque depending on layout.
• Tires: Change tyre compound and profile to tune grip and cornering response.
• Gears: Test different gear ratios to reach the right compromise between acceleration and top speed.
• Weights and Dampers: Small weight shifts and damping adjustments can markedly improve stability on complex sections.

How to Tailor the Setup

The Abilista adapts well to many Mini 4WD course types, from tight technical tracks to more open designs. Compatibility with common Tamiya parts makes it easy to personalise the setup for specific race conditions.

The Tamiya JR Abilista pairs aerodynamic design with a flexible MA chassis, giving tuners a practical platform to refine both looks and lap times.
