Meet the Shooting Proud Star

The Tamiya 18641 Shooting Proud Star brings a retro racing feel while borrowing design cues from the Dash-3 Emperor. Its extended canopy and detailed rear make it a standout on the track.

Exterior Shape and Custom Looks

Crafted from impact-resistant ABS, the body sits low and wide for an aggressive stance. The decal set included allows you to personalise the chassis for club meets or display shelves.

Engineering of the MA Chassis

The MA chassis gives the Shooting Proud Star a balanced handling character thanks to its mid-motor arrangement. This layout reduces pitching and helps maintain speed through bends.

Upgrades for Club and Competitive Racing

There are plenty of upgrade paths, from stronger motors to alternate tyre setups and gear changes. The stock 4:1 gearing is a stable baseline, and the double shaft motor fits neatly for efficient driveline performance.

Adapting Setup to Surface Types

Whether racing on smooth plastic or mixed-surface circuits, adjust gearing and tyre choice to suit grip levels. The robust design tolerates frequent tuning and part swaps.

Great products and customer service.
Yes, the ABS body and MA chassis are built for repeated runs and maintenance, though regular checks on gears and axles are recommended.
You can change gear ratios to suit your track. Moving from the standard 4:1 to a taller ratio increases top speed but may reduce acceleration.
Common spares include extra tyres, pinion and spur gears, and small bearings. These items help minimise downtime between practice sessions.
