Tamiya 18708 Night Hunter FM-A Mini 4WD Kit - Compact Racer  [18708]

Product introduction

The Tamiya Night Hunter pairs aggressive race styling with practical Mini 4WD engineering. Built on the FM-A chassis, it offers a stable platform that responds well to setup changes and tuning.

Race-inspired body design

The body is shaped to reduce drag and maintain stability at speed. Its contours help channel air cleanly and support consistent lap times when tuned correctly.

FM-A chassis performance layout

The FM-A front-mid motor placement shifts mass forward to lower the centre of gravity and improve cornering behaviour on varied track features. The chassis includes a front skid bar, robust rollers and accessible motor mount points.

Upgrade paths and compatibility

This kit is compatible with a range of common Mini 4WD upgrades, including:

• Motors: Swap in higher-output 130 motors to increase acceleration and top speed.
• Tires: Select slick or low-profile tyres according to surface grip.
• Gears: Adjust gearing to suit sprinting or long straights.
• Dampers: Fit upgraded dampers to smooth out bumps and improve cornering.

Assembly and practical advice

With straightforward assembly steps and snap-fit components, the kit is accessible to new builders while offering scope for detailed setup work by experienced racers.

The Tamiya Night Hunter on an FM-A chassis is a solid choice for hobbyists who want a tuneable, race-oriented Mini 4WD that is easy to maintain and upgrade.
