Introducing the Hawk Racer 18087: Retro Looks Meets Tunable Chassis

The Tamiya 18087 Mini 4WD Hawk Racer combines a vintage-inspired body with the adaptable Super-II chassis. It offers a tidy platform for hobbyists who enjoy setting up and refining their cars for club runs.

Aerodynamic Classic Styling

The Hawk Racer body channels classic racing silhouettes with smooth contours that assist air movement around the car. The paint and decal layout adds character while keeping a clear focus on track performance.

Durable Super-II Construction

The Super-II chassis is prized for its balance of lightness and strength. Key elements include reinforced sections at stress points, a versatile battery mounting layout, and multiple attachment spots for common upgrade components.

Personalisation and Tuning Routes

Builders can explore motor swaps such as Torque Tuned or Hyper Dash to tune acceleration versus top speed. Adjusting tyres, gear ratios and small running parts allows fine tuning for different track curves and straights.

How to Set Up for Standard Circuits

Well suited to standard Mini 4WD layouts, the Hawk Racer accepts many Tamiya parts that help refine handling and traction. Small setup changes can noticeably improve cornering and stability.
