Tamiya 18607 - Mini4 Nitro Thunder MS Chassis Collector Kit  [18607]

Introducing Tamiya 18607 Nitro Thunder on the MS Frame

The Tamiya 18607 Nitro Thunder pairs classic Nitro styling with the MS chassis to produce a compact Mini 4WD that is simple to set up and tune. The mid-ship motor placement places the batteries either side of the motor to centralise mass and improve cornering predictability. The three detachable chassis sections make component swaps straightforward for different racing needs, and the ABS body reflects the rugged aesthetic of Nitro Thunder and Nitro Force buggies.

Motor Setup and Drive Characteristics

The MS chassis incorporates a Type 130 double shaft motor that transmits power directly to both front and rear wheels, removing the propeller shaft and trimming unnecessary drivetrain losses. The modular front and rear chassis parts simplify repairs and allow racers to fine tune handling for specific track layouts.

Fitting Parts and Fine Tuning

This kit accepts a wide range of Tamiya tune-up items, enabling owners to focus on straight line speed, cornering stability, or a balance of both depending on preference. Its modular nature makes experimenting with setups practical for club events or display builds.
