Tamiya 18085 Lupine Racer 1/32 VS Chassis Track Kit  [18085]

Lupine Racer 18085 on the Tamiya VS chassis

The Tamiya 18085 Lupine Racer pairs a distinctive open-cockpit buggy style with the compact VS chassis in 1/32 scale. Included is a painted wolf driver and a rugged black body shell, making this kit appealing for both display collectors and those who want a responsive Mini 4WD on race day.

Appearance, Stickers and Driver Figure

The design includes prominent roll-bars and a full sticker set that carries a stylised Chinese character denoting "wolf". The main chassis is purple ABS with black components for rollers and battery fixtures, matched to six-spoke wheels and smooth tyres to present a coordinated finish.

Chassis Design and Track Behaviour

The VS chassis is appreciated for its low mass and short wheelbase that yield sharp handling. Features such as motor cooling channels, hinged switches and battery covers make setup and servicing straightforward, while the standard 5:1 gear ratio offers a balanced mix of speed and acceleration.
