About the Tamiya 18630 JR Dash-3 Shooting Star

The Tamiya 18630 JR Dash-3 Shooting Star blends a throwback body shape with the practical MS chassis to create a versatile Mini 4WD platform. Fans of the Dash Yonkuro designs will appreciate the familiar lines paired with a chassis ready for setup work.

Body Styling and Track Behavior

The vintage-inspired body retains a low profile that helps reduce aerodynamic drag while giving the car an authentic retro look. Its shape is functional as well as nostalgic, helping maintain speed through straights.

Why the MS Chassis Works

Known for its modular build and solid stability, the MS chassis supports a double-shaft motor layout that aids in fine weight placement and dependable corner entry. It is a go-to choice for racers who need consistent performance.

Upgrade Paths to Consider

Consider fitting performance motors, lower-profile tyres for increased cornering grip, and precision gearing to match your track characteristics. The MS layout accepts a wide range of Grade-Up Parts for tailored performance.

Assembly and Personalisation

Putting the kit together is straightforward thanks to snap-fit parts, and many components come pre-coloured. Painting, decals and small adjustments let you give each car a unique look on the pit table.
