Tamiya 18618 - JR Keen Hawk: Sleek 1/32 Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 18618 JR Keen Hawk delivers a compact, aerodynamic package for Mini 4WD fans. Built around the MS chassis, its mid-mounted motor layout promotes even weight distribution and stable performance at speed. The futuristic roof intake and silver body offer a clean canvas for custom paint and decals.

Chassis Details and Visuals

The MS chassis fitted to the JR Keen Hawk is designed for adaptability. It uses the N-02 nose unit to improve directional control and track stability. The silver body is interchangeable with other MS models, giving builders options to mix and match parts. The kit includes large white wheels that suit sprint style tracks.

Assembly Notes and Compatibility

Assembly is straightforward with no cement required, making the kit approachable for less experienced builders. A Type 130 motor comes with the kit, while two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries are sold separately. The modular MS design supports common upgrades and customisation for both display and racing setups.

The JR Keen Hawk performs well on smooth indoor circuits and standard Mini 4WD tracks. Its setup favours low friction surfaces where aerodynamics and balanced weight help maintain speed.
Many builders prefer to paint the shell before final assembly for cleaner results. The plastic accepts common model paints, and masking the windows and intake helps achieve sharp lines.
Yes, the MS platform shares many common parts. Nose units, bodies and some drivetrain components can often be interchanged between MS chassis kits.
