Introduction to the Tamiya JR Tri Gale with MA Chassis

The Tamiya JR Tri Gale pairs a streamlined body with the MA chassis to deliver efficient airflow handling and responsive drive. It is aimed at hobbyists who prioritise aerodynamic efficiency and tunability.

Body Lines and Aero Influence

The sculpted shell borrows cues from modern sports prototypes, featuring enclosed front wheels and a prominent delta-style tail. These features reduce drag and help the car slice through air on fast straights.

What Makes the MA Chassis Work

Named for its mid-ship aero layout, the MA chassis blends the double-shaft motor advantage of MS designs with AR chassis aerodynamics. The single-piece chassis offers a tidy build and dependable structural strength.

Performance Upgrades to Consider

There is scope for motor swaps, tyre selection, and gearing changes to suit different track surfaces. Adding tuned rollers or light dampers can improve corner stability and lap consistency.

Assembly Notes and Custom Finishes

The kit is assembly-friendly with snap-fit parts and coloured plastics so paint is optional. Supplied stickers let you personalise the look without extensive finishing work.

Absolutely. Swapping gears lets you tune acceleration versus top speed to match your local circuit.
Most of the build is snap-fit, but small hobby tools like cutters and tweezers are handy for trimming and decal application.
Regular checks on gears, motor mount security, and tyre wear will keep the car performing consistently between races.
