Tamiya 18608 Mini4 Nitro Force MS Chassis Details

The Tamiya 18608 Mini4 Nitro Force brings precise engineering to the 1/32 scale Mini 4WD category, centered on the MS chassis platform. Its three-part detachable body layout supports quick part swaps and targeted setup changes. With a mid-ship motor arrangement using the Type 130 double shaft motor, the power feeds directly to the wheels and removes a propeller shaft for a more compact drivetrain and improved balance. The ABS plastic body takes design cues from buggies, giving both a rugged shell and a race-ready look.

Chassis Setup and Track Behaviour

The MS chassis offers adaptable geometry so drivers can alter the front and rear assemblies to suit different circuits. That flexibility simplifies maintenance and tuning sessions. Mounting batteries on either side of the motor helps keep the centre of gravity low, which aids cornering stability and predictable handling at speed.

Parts, Tuning and Compatibility

Built to accept a wide selection of Tamiya Tune-Up Parts, the Mini4 Nitro Force is friendly to upgrades for gearing, traction and durability. Whether you want a straightforward race setup or a heavily tuned machine, the chassis supports incremental improvements.

  • Scale: 1/32
