Shooting Proud Star overview for hobby racers

The Tamiya 18641 Shooting Proud Star captures a racing spirit inspired by the Dash-3 Emperor. Its elongated canopy and sculpted rear end project a high-speed aesthetic that appeals to tuners and collectors.

Bodywork and Visual Features

Manufactured in resilient ABS, the body emphasises a low centre of gravity and a wide track stance. The supplied sticker sheet makes it easy to give your car a distinctive livery for meets and competitions.

MA Chassis Performance Traits

The MA chassis provides a mid-motor configuration that improves weight distribution and handling. This layout supports predictable corner entry and steadier exits during fast laps.

Tuning Options and Common Upgrades

Builders can upgrade to higher-spec motors, experiment with tyre compounds, or alter gear ratios to refine acceleration and top speed. The double shaft motor arrangement ensures steady power transfer to the wheels.

Optimising for Different Circuit Conditions

Adjustments to tyres and gearing allow the Shooting Proud Star to perform well across a range of circuit surfaces. Its base setup makes iterative tuning straightforward for racers chasing consistent lap times.

  • Chassis Type: MA

The Tamiya 18641 Shooting Proud Star offers a strong blend of styling and chassis engineering, making it a go-to kit for tinkerers who race and display their builds.

Great products and customer service.
The kit is a plastic assembly model that requires separate power cells. Standard AA batteries are used for Mini 4WD motors, which are not included as plug-and-play electronics.
Weight trimming can help, such as using lighter wheels or careful body trimming, but maintain structural integrity to avoid breakages during races.
Stick with the stock 4:1 ratio as a starting point. From there, test slightly higher or lower ratios based on whether you need more top speed or quicker acceleration.
Common replacement parts like gears, tyres, and chassis components are readily available from hobby stores and online suppliers that stock Tamiya Mini 4WD spares.
Use plastic primer and thin coats of paint designed for ABS. Mask carefully for crisp decal placement and allow adequate curing time before fitting the body.
