What to know about the Neo Falcon

The Tamiya 18617 Neo Falcon combines a striking, low-slung body with Mini 4WD engineering aimed at hobby racers. Its compact profile emphasises responsive handling and a racing aesthetic.

Design cues and aero lines

Clean, angular panels and a sculpted front end give the Neo Falcon a purposeful appearance, while the shape also supports aerodynamic adjustments made by tuners.

MS chassis balance and control

With the MS chassis platform, the car benefits from a three-piece structure and mid motor layout that help keep the centre of mass stable for consistent cornering.

Racing upgrades and tuning advice

The Neo Falcon accepts many standard upgrades to alter performance:

• Motors: Fit higher performance motors to increase speed when rules permit.
• Tires: Select tyre profiles to enhance grip or reduce rolling resistance.
• Gears: Adjust gear ratios to suit acceleration or top speed priorities.
• Dampers: Add dampers to smooth out transitions and aid traction over uneven sections.

Assembly and maintenance tips

The kit assembles without glue thanks to snap-fit parts, and routine checks of screws and rollers will keep the model running reliably session after session.

Styled for impact and flexible for tuning, the Neo Falcon is a versatile option for collectors and racers who enjoy setup work.
