Classic Tamiya 18646 DCR-01 MA Chassis Mini 4WD Kit - modular body design  [18646]

Design features of the DCR-01 body

The Tamiya DCR-01 adopts a three-piece body that gives model makers scope to vary the look and function of the car. Separate front and rear cowl components and an optional canopy allow for tailored styling. Yamazaki Takayuki's pearl red scheme and metallic stickers deliver a refined appearance.

Customisation and colour choices

To change the car's appearance, fit separately sold body parts in alternative colours. This system makes for quick swaps and allows unique colour pairings that stand out on race day.

MA chassis explained

Built on the MA (Midship AERO) chassis, the DCR-01 positions the motor amidships to enhance balance and aerodynamic behaviour. The chassis features six low-friction rollers and a rear skid bar for added stability, while the monocoque frame eases assembly and upkeep.

Performance and wheel setup

The white MA chassis contrasts the vibrant bodywork and runs a 4:1 gear ratio. It uses large diameter, 6-spoke wheels with low-profile tyres, suitable for a broad range of circuit conditions.

Offering a blend of modular styling and the established MA platform, the Tamiya DCR-01 is well suited to enthusiasts who enjoy both visual customisation and handling tweaks.
