Eleglitter Profile: Design Focus and Tuning Scope

The Tamiya 18100 Eleglitter combines Kota Nezu's futuristic styling with a chassis built for setup work, offering a model that appeals to both display collectors and racers aiming to refine lap times.

Exterior Shape and Visual Features

The bodywork is defined by aerodynamic contours and modern detailing, matched with light blue wheels and grey aero-disc parts for a distinctive look. The front and rear fenders can be removed to change weight distribution or to fit larger tyres for different surface types.

VZ Chassis Characteristics

The VZ platform is praised for being both lightweight and rigid, giving a stable base for cornering and quick response. Its compact layout supports a variety of tuning parts to tailor handling to specific track conditions.

Practical Upgrades for Club Racing

Users can improve performance by upgrading motor, tyres, and gearing. The Eleglitter is compatible with common upgrades like Torque Tuned and Atomic Tuned motors, and fitting dampers can help control the car through fast, technical sections.

Assembly Notes and Track Compatibility

Parts are mostly snap-fit for a simple build, and base-coloured mouldings reduce the need for paint. The kit matches standard Mini 4WD track dimensions, so it works across most racing formats and local events.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: VZ
  • Motor Compatibility: Standard 130 Single Shaft
  • Body Style: Futuristic Coupe
  • Tire Options: Compatible with Large-Diameter Tires
  • Racing Customization Potential: High

With its standout body and adaptable VZ chassis, the Tamiya Eleglitter is a flexible Mini 4WD choice for enthusiasts who enjoy both styling and setup work.

Yes, the shell is well suited to trimming and light modification; removing the fenders is the simplest change to alter clearance and weight.
Large-diameter tyres are supported and are a common choice to increase roll and traction on slower sections, while smaller tyres suit high-speed straights.
Basic hobby tools are enough for assembly thanks to snap-fit parts, though side cutters and fine files help when trimming or tuning parts.
Dampers can improve stability in fast corners and over uneven track sections, making them a useful upgrade for competitive runs.
