Hexagonite styling and chassis intent

The Tamiya 18653 Hexagonite combines a bold hex-inspired shell with an MA chassis that balances speed and stability. The package suits racers who want a solid base for competitive tuning.

Shell aesthetics and functional shaping

The body uses angular facets and sharp detailing to manage airflow and give the model an aggressive, track-ready appearance. Those features help reduce turbulence around wheel arches and spoilers.

MA chassis setup and handling traits

With the MA chassis at its core, the Hexagonite has a compact motor layout and neutral handling characteristics. The chassis accepts a wide selection of tuning parts to adjust response and top speed.

Common upgrades and tuning strategy

Typical improvements include fitting torque-tuned or double-shaft motors, fine-tuning gear ratios, and lowering rotating mass by using hollow tyres and precision bearings for quicker acceleration.

Tamiya 18653 Hexagonite is a capable kit for racers aiming to build a tuned mini 4WD with strong straight-line stability and eye-catching styling.

The MA chassis centralises weight and supports a dependable motor position, giving the Hexagonite steady handling and straightforward tuning options for speed or corner balance.
The kit includes silver 5-spoke wheels with super-hard tyres, which are durable and suit many circuits; changing tyre hardness can improve grip for specific tracks.
Start with the stock gearing to learn the car's baseline behavior, then tweak ratios to suit your motor choice and the layout of your local tracks for better performance.
Clean debris from gears and bearings after each session, check tyres for wear, and re-lubricate moving parts to keep the Hexagonite running consistently.
