Tamiya 18648 Mad Laser MA Chassis Mini 4WD Classic Racer  [18648]

Mad Laser summary for tuning and handling

The Tamiya 18648 Mad Laser combines a race-inspired silhouette with an MA chassis layout designed to give balanced handling on the track. Its styling and component layout make it an appealing choice for modders and club racers.

Exterior styling and decal options

The shell borrows aerodynamic language from performance cars, featuring a pronounced canopy, defined body contours and a rear wing that contributes to straight-line stability. The decal pack includes headlight, bonnet and door graphics plus a carbon fibre roof pattern for an authentic finish.

Midship MA chassis: layout and components

The MA (Midship AERO) Chassis positions the motor centrally to aid balance and airflow. The kit includes six low-friction rollers and a rear skid bar, and the monocoque frame makes assembly straightforward while offering solid tuning potential.

Upgrade pathways and racing notes

While the model comes with a double-shaft motor, builders often fit higher torque or higher rpm units, experiment with tyre compounds and adjust gearing. The 3.5:1 ratio strikes a compromise between acceleration and top speed suitable for many race formats.

The Mad Laser is a well rounded Mini 4WD option, offering a tunable MA chassis and race-focused bodywork for hobbyists who enjoy setup and upgrades.
