Tamiya 18654 - Toyota Gazoo WRT/Yaris: Mini 4WD club racer and display model

The Tamiya 18654 Toyota Gazoo WRT/Yaris Mini 4WD presents a compact rally replica that suits both display shelves and local club tracks. Built on the MA (Midship AERO) chassis, it combines purposeful layout with scale detail.

MA chassis - central motor for balanced handling

The MA chassis places the motor in the mid position to improve balance and aerodynamic behaviour. Fitted with six low friction rollers and a rear skid bar, it helps the car remain composed at higher speeds. The monocoque construction makes the build straightforward and time efficient.

Accurate shell and componentry

The kit recreates Yaris WRC styling across a four part body, including an articulated nose and separate rear wing pieces. Silver dish wheels and low profile black tyres capture the rally look, and a Type 130 double shaft motor is supplied for dependable running.

Modifications and upgrade choices

Grade-Up Parts are available for owners wanting to tune handling, increase durability or reduce weight. These options let you adapt the car for circuit types from short technical tracks to faster layouts.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MA (Midship AERO)
  • Motor: Type 130 double shaft
  • Gear Ratio: 4:1
  • Wheels: Silver dish
  • Tires: Black low-profile
  • Batteries Required: 2 x AA (sold separately)
Start with rollers aligned to the chassis top line and adjust lower or higher in small steps. Observe handling and tweak until roll and rebound match the track profile.
Out of the box it is reliable for club events, but modest upgrades to rollers and gearing will help when racing against tuned cars.
Use a light clear coat and allow full curing before handling. Keep the body free from solvent based cleaners that could soften the paint.
Basic modelling tools like a hobby knife, sprue cutters and fine screwdrivers are sufficient. A small file set helps with panel fit and decal prep.
