TAMIYA 18711 Mini 4WD Trairong (FM-A Chassis)

Overall length: 156 mm. The photo shows the kit assembled and painted. [A machine inspired by a hawk, the winning entry of a Thai design contest] This is a plastic model assembly kit of a high-performance racer that uses a shaft drive four-wheel drive. The Trilong is a machine that is a product of the winning entry of a mini 4WD design contest held in Thailand. The name of the car comes from the Thai national flag, "Ton Trilong" (three-color flag). The red ABS resin body has a hawk motif and an aerodynamic design that is conscious of air flow. The two-stage air deflector installed between the left and right front fenders and the nose is a distinctive feature. The air taken in from the front of the body flows to the sides, making it a full-scale model reminiscent of a real racing car. In addition, the headlights inspired by the eyes of a hawk and the curved stripes based on the three colors of the Thai flag are available as stickers. [Uses the FM-A chassis with a front motor layout] The chassis uses the FM-A with a front motor layout that incorporates an aerodynamic design. Since the center of gravity is closer to the front of the body, it is possible to run with a sense of stability even on courses with many ups and downs. The front lower part is equipped with a skid bar made of low-friction resin as standard, and the four rollers are also made of low-friction resin. The rear roller is an 8mm thick type that enhances stability. The motor can be easily replaced from the bottom of the chassis, allowing for quick setting changes. The aero side stays, inspired by the cross-sectional shape of an airplane wing, can be used to attach various parts. The chassis body is made of ABS resin, while the A parts such as the underpanel and skid bar are made of low-friction resin. Both are finished in black to resemble a real car. In addition, low-height tires are set on the A-spoke wheels with a textured smoke plating. 3.5:1 super-speed gear and motor included.
