• Motors: Upgrade to motors that suit your preferred balance of acceleration and top speed.
• Tires: Change tyre compound and shape to match the track surface and grip requirements.
• Gears: Experiment with gear ratios to find the best compromise for the course.
• Weights and Dampers: Adjust mass distribution and damping to stabilise cornering and airborne sections.

Practical Setup Advice

The Abilista is compatible with many Tamiya parts and performs reliably on a variety of track designs. Tailoring suspension and weight will help you tune handling to suit tighter or faster circuits.

Combining aero-focused styling with a serviceable MA chassis, the Tamiya JR Abilista is a practical choice for modders and racers who like to refine setup and components.
