Tamiya 18623 - Savanna Leo: Stylish Mini 4WD Design

The Tamiya 18623 Savanna Leo is a standout Mini 4WD release, born from Hidemasa Komatsu's winning entry for the 25th Anniversary project. The sculpted body draws on savanna imagery and brings a strong visual identity to the track or display shelf.

Design and MS Chassis Highlights

Using the MS chassis with a mid-mounted Type 130 motor, the Savanna Leo balances stability and speed. It comes with an N-02 nose piece and large dish wheels that suit high-velocity setups, and the shell is interchangeable with other MS-based models for creative builds.

Construction Notes and Power Requirements

This kit assembles via a three-piece detachable chassis and does not require cement, making it quick to put together. The drivetrain uses a 4:1 gear ratio to deliver brisk acceleration, and the model requires two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries, sold separately. The platform is well suited to tuning and aftermarket parts.

A mid-mounted Type 130 motor centralises mass and improves balance through corners, giving smoother stability at higher speeds compared with front or rear motor locations.
Yes, the MS chassis is supported by a range of upgrade items such as different wheels, rollers, and stabilizers that help fine tune lap times and handling.
After track sessions check wheel bearings, clean gear teeth of debris, and ensure the motor mount and chassis clips are secure to keep performance consistent.
