Performance Body Tamiya 18711 Trairong FM-A Chassis 1/32 Mini 4WD Kit  [18711]

Tamiya 18711 Trairong: Hawk-Inspired Livery Meets Racing Chassis

The Tamiya 18711 Trairong pairs a dramatic tricolour shell with a chassis geared toward stable handling and tuning. The design reads as both showpiece and functional race body.

Durable ABS Shell with Tricolour Accents

Manufactured from tough red ABS, the Trairong body displays the Thong Trairong colours via supplied stickers. The front-end styling and tapered flanks are inspired by a hawk motif and help keep the centre of pressure low.

FM-A Platform Built for Control

The FM-A chassis features a front-mounted motor layout that typically enhances traction on entry and mid-corner balance. It provides a flexible base for common Mini 4WD performance parts and handling improvements.

Upgrade Routes for Lap Time Gains

Racers often upgrade to higher rpm 130 motors, swap tyres for better grip, or alter gearing to suit circuit length. The chassis also supports ballast adjustments and aftermarket damper parts for finer handling control.

Ease of Assembly and Power Tips

The kit assembles with snap-fit components and is approachable for newcomers while rewarding experienced tuners. It runs on two R6/AA/UM3 batteries, not included with the kit.

With the Tamiya 18711 Trairong, hobbyists get an attractive, tuneable Mini 4WD that balances cultural styling with a chassis suited to serious setup work and competitive runs.
