Tamiya 18068 Thunder Dragon Premium - VS chassis brief

The Tamiya 18068 Thunder Dragon Premium commemorates three decades of Mini 4WD with a refreshed silhouette and practical VS chassis. This kit is aimed at enthusiasts who value both display quality and the scope to tune for racing.

Exterior finish and chassis materials

The Thunder Dragon Jr. body is supplied in an eye-catching silver finish to accentuate its lines. The VS chassis is made from dark blue ABS for robustness during spirited runs. Large-diameter fluorescent yellow wheels and black spike tyres add visual flair while aiding traction.

Mechanical setup and included items

The VS chassis offers a compact, low-mass platform that helps keep handling consistent. The kit comes with low-friction black rollers sized at 13mm and 13-12mm to limit drag through corners. A Type 130 motor and a 4.2:1 gear ratio are provided for a sensible balance of speed and torque.

Optional upgrades and maintenance

Owners can enhance performance with separately sold Grade-Up Parts to suit different track demands. Regular checks and basic maintenance combined with selective upgrades will help the Thunder Dragon remain competitive over time.

After racing, clean dust and debris from rollers and gears, check tyre wear and ensure screws are tight. Regular lubrication of moving parts will keep the drive train running smoothly.
Yes, many Grade-Up Parts such as ball bearings and specialised rollers are compatible and can reduce friction for improved lap consistency. Check part fitment before purchase to ensure compatibility.
The model body is moulded in a silver finish, giving it a finished look straight from the box. For a customised appearance you can repaint it, while checking the kit contents for any included stickers or decals.
