Tamiya 18652 – TOYOTA GAZOO Racing TS050 HYBRID (MA Chassis) (Polycarbonate Body)

This Mini 4WD kit recreates the Toyota Gazoo Racing TS050 Hybrid, the Le Mans prototype that inspired its sleek, wind-cutting profile. The polycarbonate body captures the real car’s sculpted lines — from the low nose and raised fenders to the detailed aerodynamic side pontoons. A full sticker sheet is included, allowing you to build either the No.7 or No.8 car with accurate race-spec livery.

Dark silver fin-design wheels paired with black low-profile tyres complete the track-ready look. The model is built on the MA chassis, making it a stable, well-balanced platform for both newcomers and racers.

MA Chassis – Midship Aero Efficiency

The MA chassis places the motor centrally for balanced weight distribution and smooth control, especially in straight-line sections. Its monocoque construction enhances rigidity, while six low-friction rollers and a rear skid bar support efficient, predictable performance across different course layouts.

This kit includes a 3.5:1 gear ratio, offering a solid starting point for tuning acceleration vs. top speed.
