Compact Classic Tamiya 18008 - 1/32 JR Thunder Dragon Junior Model Kit

The Tamiya 18008 - 1/32 JR Thunder Dragon Junior Model Kit captures the wedge profile of larger racers in a smaller, easy to build package. The Type 1 chassis underpins the model for a simple, reliable base that suits both shelf display and friendly circuit runs.

Chassis Overview and Build

The black Type 1 chassis is designed for durability and straightforward assembly. Its snap-fit parts mean no glue is needed, letting builders focus on adjusting gear ratios and personalising bodywork without complicated construction steps.

Torque, Speed and Tweaks

Fitted with a compact Type 130 motor, this Mini 4WD offers dependable drive for its size. Two gear ratios are supplied so racers can favour top speed or stronger acceleration depending on the course. The white wheels with black spike tyres provide reliable traction on typical track surfaces.

Hobbyist Finishing Options

The model is equally suited to display as it is to casual racing, thanks to its detailed lines. A sticker sheet is included so builders can add custom liveries and small touches to stand out at meetups or on the shelf.

Smooth, purpose-built Mini 4WD tracks give the best lap times, though the car also handles well on marked practice lanes with moderate grip.
Yes, the body takes hobby paints; apply stickers after painting and sealing for a durable finish. Test paints on a spare shell if available.
Basic hobby tools like nippers and a small file make trimming parts easier, but the snap-fit design keeps tool needs minimal.
