The Koala Racer is styled with a koala driver sculpt and a mint green and sky-blue paint scheme, highlighted with bamboo graphics. The koala figure is supplied pre-assembled and painted, giving the model immediate shelf appeal as well as track personality.
The VS chassis offers a compact footprint and is moulded in white ABS for a balance of lightness and durability. Hinged gear covers and exposed battery holders make servicing quick, which is handy between practice runs.
The car is set up for a Type 130 motor and a 5:1 gear ratio out of the box, and it uses large diameter narrow yellow wheels with green arched tyres. A variety of Grade-Up Parts can be fitted to suit different racing goals, from acceleration to corner speed.
Made to run on standard Mini 4WD tracks, the Koala Racer benefits from basic tuning changes. Experimenting with tyres, gearing and upgrade parts will help you find the best setup for your local circuit.
Tamiya 18093 strikes a good balance between a whimsical model and a chassis that is straight-forward to adjust, appealing to collectors and racers who like to tweak their cars.
