Introducing the Tamiya 18062 - 1/32 JR Vanquish RS

The Tamiya 18062 JR Vanquish RS is a compact Mini 4WD kit that blends display appeal with tuning room. It arrives with a sleek black ABS body fitted to the VS chassis, a compact platform appreciated for easy handling and modification. Large metal-plated wheels and red slick tyres complete the look while aiding traction and stability on typical track surfaces.

Chassis Construction

The Vanquish RS uses a red-moulded VS chassis made from ABS for a good balance of strength and lightness. Its shape is intended for agile cornering and provides points for common upgrades. The front stay includes 14mm rubber ring rollers to reduce bounce and improve straight-line stability.

Motor, Gearing and Power

Equipped with a Type 130 motor and set with a 4.2:1 gear ratio, this model offers dependable drive characteristics for club-level racing. It is powered by two AA batteries (sold separately) and accepts routine Mini 4WD tuning parts for users who wish to adjust speed or handling.

  • Scale ratio: 1/32
  • Body: Black ABS plastic
  • Chassis: Red ABS VS type
  • Wheels: Large metal-plated wheels
  • Tires: Red slicks, large size
  • Motor: Included Type 130
  • Gear ratio: 4.2:1
  • Power: Two AA batteries required (not included)

Can I swap the motor for higher speed?

Yes, the VS chassis accepts common Mini 4WD motors. Swapping to a higher-performance motor is possible, but remember to adjust gearing and weight distribution to maintain control.

Are the tyres road legal for club tracks?

The supplied red slick tyres are standard for Mini 4WD track use and work well on most club surfaces. For specific track rules, check the organiser's tyre restrictions before racing.

How easy is assembly for newcomers?

Assembly is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with Mini 4WD kits. Parts are modular and the VS chassis layout makes it a good learning kit for basic tuning and upgrades.
