Discover the Tamiya 18645 Silwolf - MA chassis performance in miniature

The Tamiya 18645 Silwolf combines a race-inspired look with the MA chassis platform to deliver a compact but capable Mini 4WD. It suits builders who want both a display model and a tunable racer.

Streamlined shell and race cues

The Silwolf features contours and vents that echo full-size touring car styling. The black and silver colour scheme gives it a purposeful appearance while contributing to cleaner airflow over the body.

Balanced mid-motor MA chassis

At the heart of the model, the MA chassis provides a mid-motor layout that balances mass and improves predictability at speed. The design is compatible with double shaft motors for consistent drive efficiency.

Upgrade routes and handling changes

There are clear upgrade paths for speed and handling: motor swaps, tyre changes and different gearing all influence lap times. The included 26mm low-profile tyres are geared toward solid traction on common track surfaces, and small wheels assist quick acceleration.

Fine tuning for different tracks

The standard 3.5:1 gear ratio gives a good middle ground for acceleration versus top speed, making the Silwolf adaptable to both long straights and twisty layouts. Aftermarket parts are widely available to dial in setup for local conditions.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MA
  • Motor Compatibility: Double Shaft
  • Body Style: Touring Car
  • Wheel Type: Low-Profile Tires
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1

Practical and mod-friendly, the Tamiya 18645 Silwolf offers a great base for hobbyists who want to experiment with setup and upgrades while keeping a strong visual presence.

Start with the kit 3.5:1 ratio as a baseline and adjust toward higher ratios for more top speed or lower ratios for quicker acceleration depending on your track.
Switching tyre compound and thickness can have a large impact. Softer compounds increase grip on smooth surfaces while different widths alter cornering bite and stability.
Yes, many aftermarket components designed for the MA chassis and Mini 4WD format will fit the Silwolf to help improve roll control and straight-line speed.
The body is supplied in moulded colours but may need trimming and decals added. Painting is optional for performance but popular for personalising looks.
The car performs well on typical track surfaces such as plastic, rubberised or sealed asphalt. Adjust tyres and gearing to match very smooth or highly abrasive tracks.
