Quick Look at the Tamiya 18649 Cannon D Ball

The Tamiya 18649 Cannon D Ball merges classic Cannonball styling with current Mini 4WD engineering. Derived from Hyper Dash! Yonkuro inspiration, it is built to be competitive and adaptable.

Designed for Cleaner Airflow

The aerodynamic layout of the body reduces drag and stabilises airflow over the car. Its rally-inspired lines help with high speed runs and reduce unwanted lift.

MA Chassis Performance Traits

The MA (Midship AERO) chassis places the motor centrally to improve weight distribution. Combined with a 3.5:1 gear ratio and six rollers, the layout delivers balance between speed and corner grip.

Customisation Routes for Racers

Racers can explore upgrades like torque-oriented motors, alternative tyres, and precision gears. Tuning the rear skid bar and roller angles offers further handling refinement.

Assembly Notes and Longevity

The monocoque MA frame snaps together for quick builds and easy access during maintenance. The design supports fast part swaps, letting you iterate setups rapidly at the track.

A mid-range high-torque motor and quality tyres are the most effective first modifications for consistent lap time gains.
Yes. The central motor layout improves balance during airborne sections, but suspension setup through roller tuning is key.
Usually yes, but always confirm class rules on allowed motor types, tyres, and body alterations before entering an event.
Optimize roller alignment and lower friction points, upgrade gears for smoother power delivery, and test tyre compounds to suit the surface.
Use the stock 3.5:1 as a baseline, then try slightly taller or shorter ratios depending on whether you need more top speed or acceleration.
