Spark Rouge: styling and on-track characteristics

The Tamiya 18642 Spark Rouge presents a compact, aerodynamic profile that prioritises stability. The wedge-shaped front and clean body lines help reduce drag, while the MA Chassis layout supports consistent handling.

Design influences and visual notes

Influenced by performance road cars, the Spark Rouge offers both an attractive display model and a competitive racing silhouette suitable for club meets.

MA Chassis core advantages

The MA Chassis features a mid-mounted motor and a low center of gravity to aid cornering. Its built-in airflow channels help cool the motor and batteries during repeated heats.

Performance upgrades and tuning advice

Performance can be enhanced with different double shaft motors, tyre compounds and gear sets matched to your track. Small adjustments to mass distribution and added dampers can improve traction in turns.

Building the kit and finishing tips

Construction is user friendly with colour-moulded parts and snap-fit sections. Modelers who want extra detail can paint and decal the shell for a personalised display finish.

Yes, with appropriate motor and tyre choices the Spark Rouge can be set up for competitive club racing while still being a tidy display model.
Regularly clean gears and bearings, check tyre wear and confirm vents are clear so the MA Chassis cooling works efficiently during events.
Painting can enhance display appeal but keep layers thin and avoid covering mounting points or air ducts to preserve fit and cooling.
Start with a balanced motor and a set of tyres suited to your circuit. From there, tweak gearing and small weights to refine handling.
