The Tamiya 18640 Raikiri combines a razor-like aesthetic with practical engineering, influenced by designer Kota Nezu to produce a small but capable Mini 4WD racer.
Constructed from ABS plastic, the Raikiri body stays light for quick acceleration while offering enough strength to withstand routine track impacts and handling adjustments.
The MA Chassis uses a midship motor position that helps centralise weight, improving straight line stability and predictable corner behaviour. The one-piece construction reduces unwanted flex.
Racers can upgrade motors, experiment with tyre profiles, and tweak gear ratios to match track conditions. Adding damping or reinforcement parts lets you fine tune roll and stability.
Designed with snap-fit assembly, the kit simplifies building while remaining compatible with common Mini 4WD race standards, making it suitable for club events and casual track days.
Thanks to its balance of durability and tuning potential, the Tamiya 18640 Raikiri is a solid platform for anyone wanting to learn setup and tuning techniques.
