Spark Rouge form and function on the circuit

The Tamiya 18642 Spark Rouge combines a compact sports car look with aerodynamic choices that favour stability. The low-slung nose and sculpted bodywork work with the MA Chassis to manage airflow and reduce lift.

Coachbuilt appearance and racing roots

Drawing inspiration from performance road machines, the Spark Rouge pairs sharp styling with functional aerodynamics that help sustain speed through straights and into corners.

MA Chassis practical benefits

The MA Chassis brings a central motor position and low mass distribution for increased cornering control. Internal ducting assists with continuous cooling for the motor and battery pack during multi-run sessions.

Customisation ideas for racers

Common upgrades include swapping motors for different rpm or torque profiles, experimenting with tyre types, and adjusting gearing. Targeted weight placement and basic damping upgrades can significantly refine handling.

Build notes and finishing touches

Assembly is designed to be approachable, with pre-coloured parts reducing the need for paint. Builders who want a bespoke look can add paint, decals or lightweight mods to tune appearance and performance.

The Tamiya 18642 Spark Rouge offers a strong platform for racers who value aerodynamic detail and a wide range of tuning options.

Try shifting small ballast toward the rear or adding light dampers to tame oversteer. Fine changes to tyre compound also help grip in corners.
Higher ratio gearing helps achieve top speed on long straights, but ensure your motor can sustain the load without overheating.
Light coats of paint are fine, but avoid thick layers near mounting points and vents. Keep paint minimal over airflow openings to preserve cooling.
Inspect and clean bearings regularly, especially after dusty or sandy runs. A light lubricant keeps them spinning freely and reduces strain on the motor.
Choose softer tyres for tighter circuits and harder tyres for smooth, high speed tracks. Balance grip and rolling resistance to suit your motor and gearing.
