Tamiya 18652 TS050 Hybrid - MA Chassis M4WD PRO Edition  [18652]

Introduction to the Tamiya 18652 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing TS050 Hybrid

The Tamiya 18652 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing TS050 Hybrid delivers a compact Mini 4WD model that mirrors Le Mans prototype aesthetics. The polycarbonate body is designed to be light and durable for club racing and weekend practice.

Design cues and race inspired form

Low bonnet lines, defined fenders and aerodynamic side pontoons echo the look of endurance racers. The supplied sticker set helps recreate the TS050 Hybrid livery for accurate presentation on and off the track.

MA chassis - mid motor dynamics

Featuring the MA chassis with a mid-motor layout, the car benefits from centralised mass and improved straight-line control. The monocoque construction boosts chassis rigidity for consistent handling under different track conditions.

Upgrade paths and tuning advice

Typical upgrades include testing Torque Tuned or Atomic Tuned motors to tune acceleration and top speed, swapping to low-profile tyres for better contact with the track, and fine-tuning gearing for your course profile.

Assembly notes and compatibility

Snap-fit construction keeps assembly simple, making it accessible to newcomers while leaving room for advanced tuners to fit aftermarket parts. It is compatible with standard Mini 4WD track formats and accessories.

The Tamiya TS050 Hybrid combines prototype styling with a capable MA chassis, offering a platform that is both display worthy and tuneable for racing.
