Tamiya 18658 Chevalier - compact chassis, race-minded shell

The Tamiya 18658 Chevalier is built to offer a mix of visual detail and on-track competence. Its MA chassis layout aims to provide steady handling and a low centre of gravity for competitive Mini 4WD racing.

Race-inspired body and styling cues

The Chevalier presents an aerodynamic form with clean lines designed to reduce turbulence and support consistent high-speed runs. The styling balances realistic race car touches with functional shaping.

Why the MA chassis matters

The Midship Aero chassis places components to centralise mass and lower the centre of gravity, improving cornering. The chassis accepts double shaft motors, which gives flexibility when selecting powerplants for different tracks.

How to modify and tune

Upgrades are straightforward: try different motor types, swap tyre sets for grip tuning, alter gear ratios, and experiment with weight placement to find a competitive balance for your events.

Assembly and compatibility notes

Snap-fit construction makes the Chevalier quick to build, suitable for newcomers and experienced tuners. It is engineered to work with standard Tamiya Mini 4WD track systems.

The Tamiya 18658 - Chevalier serves as a versatile Mini 4WD platform, offering approachable assembly and solid potential for tuning and race setup refinement.
