Hawk Racer 18087: Compact Race Styling with Tunable Chassis

The Tamiya 18087 Mini 4WD Hawk Racer blends a scale race car silhouette with the adaptable Super-II chassis. It provides a compact, tuneable base for hobbyists aiming to improve lap times through precise setup choices.

Classic Race Car Lines

The Hawk Racer features an aerodynamic profile and sculpted surfaces inspired by classic race cars. Those shapes help airflow management and the detailed decal sheet enhances the model's track-ready presentation.

Super-II Chassis Features

The Super-II chassis is favoured for its combination of light construction and robustness. It includes a reinforced front area, adaptable battery securing options, and many mounting positions to accept tuning components.

Modding and Parts Compatibility

Modders can fit a variety of motors, from Torque Tuned to Hyper Dash types, to match their preferred balance of acceleration and top speed. Tyre and gear swaps are straightforward routes to tune grip and gearing for different layouts.

Setup Notes for Circuit Racing

Optimised for standard Mini 4WD tracks, the Hawk Racer works well with common Tamiya parts so racers can adjust balance, roll resistance and traction for improved cornering and straight-line stability.

The Tamiya Hawk Racer 18087 on Super-II hardware makes a practical, tuneable addition to any Mini 4WD collection for those who enjoy measured upgrades and setup work.

Yes, the Super-II platform is a common upgrade base with plenty of mounting points for braces, rollers and other tuning hardware.
Gear ratios are adjustable depending on whether you need acceleration for technical sections or a taller ratio for higher top speeds on long straights.
Basic hobby tools like small screwdrivers and cutters are sufficient; no specialist gear is required for the standard build and common upgrades.
The kit comes with low-profile tyres which are a good starting point; swapping compounds or widths can improve grip for specific track conditions.
