Overview of the Tamiya 18049 Vanquish Jr. on the VS Chassis

The Tamiya 18049 - 1/32 Vanquish Jr. VS Chassis Model Kit offers a neat balance of style and performance for Mini 4WD fans. The VS chassis is engineered to be light and mod-friendly, so builders can experiment with gearing, roller setups, and weight placement to suit their local track. The streamlined body contributes to straight-line speed while keeping the centre of gravity modest for predictable handling.

Targeted at hobbyists and racers alike, the kit arrives with a motor already installed but requires two R6/AA/UM3 batteries to operate. Many modelers fit quality rechargeable cells to keep power delivery steady through heats and practice runs.

Do I need special batteries for racing?

No special type is required, but using two high-quality R6/AA/UM3 cells with consistent charge improves lap consistency. Rechargeable NiMH pairs are a popular choice among racers.

Can I fit alternate motors or gears?

Yes, the VS platform accepts common Mini 4WD motor and gear swaps. Changing gear ratio and motor type is a typical route to optimise acceleration versus top speed for your track.

What maintenance keeps this car race-ready?

Regularly clean bearings and rollers, check gear mesh, and keep tyres free of debris. Tighten chassis screws and inspect the battery contacts before each event.
