Quick Look at the Tamiya 18640 Raikiri

The Tamiya 18640 Raikiri pairs sharp styling with functional design, shaped with input from Kota Nezu to provide a nimble Mini 4WD suited to competitive tuning.

Durable, Aerodynamic Shell

The ABS body keeps weight down while providing a smooth profile to cut aerodynamic drag. Its form helps maintain stability at speed without sacrificing resilience for track use.

MA Chassis and Weight Distribution

The MA Chassis uses a mid-mount motor arrangement to centralise mass, aiding predictable handling. The rigid one-piece frame helps reduce flex during fast cornering.

Tuning Pathways for Racers

Customisation options include swapping in performance motors like Torque Tuned or Hyper Dash, fitting low-profile tyres, and refining gear ratios for better acceleration or top end speed. Dampers and chassis tweaks can enhance control on rough sections.

Assembly and Event Ready

Snap-fit parts simplify assembly, making the kit approachable while keeping compatibility with standard Mini 4WD tracks and upgrade components used in club competition.
