Hexagonite design and track intent

The Tamiya 18653 Hexagonite pairs a geometric body with focused engineering to deliver a compact racer that channels airflow efficiently. It is built for enthusiasts who like to tweak setup for variable track surfaces.

Visual profile and airflow tuning

With crisp edges and hex-style patterns, the Hexagonite body reduces drag pockets and promotes consistent airflow. The look also makes it easy to spot on a packed race grid.

MA chassis attributes for balanced running

The MA chassis offers a centred motor position and balanced weight spread, providing predictable responses through bends. Its platform accepts common tuning parts so you can dial in handling for different circuits.

Upgrade routes for better race times

Performance gains are available through accepted swaps such as torque-tuned or double-shaft motors, adjusting gears for top speed or torque, and fitting lightweight parts like hollow tyres and smoother bearings.

Tamiya 18653 Hexagonite is a solid choice for hobbyists who enjoy hands-on tuning and want a distinctive shell that responds well to common upgrades.

Thanks to the MA chassis balance and compact body, the Hexagonite is forgiving over minor lane imperfections, though tyre choice and suspension parts affect ride more.
Swapping to a torque-tuned or double-shaft motor, fitting hollow tyres, and using precision bearings typically deliver the most noticeable lap time improvements without heavy expense.
You can, but keep to cleaned surfaces; choose tougher tyres and check for grit in gears and bearings after outdoor use to avoid accelerated wear.
