Tamiya 18718 K4 Gambol (FM-A Chassis)

[Custom-made naughty companion]

Shaft drive A plastic model assembly kit for high-performance racers that uses four-wheel drive. The K4 Gambol is a machine with the motif of a custom light truck that has become popular overseas in recent years. As the name of “Gambol”, which means “great fun”, the metallic orange ABS resin body is full of playfulness. A powerful silhouette full of love, equipped with animal guards, roll bars, and overhanging over fenders, further enhances the custom mood and power. Also, since the roof and body are separate parts for the body, it is a nice point to be able to easily paint them separately. I’m looking forward to finishing it in the original two-tone color. And the chassis adopts FM-A with front motor layout, and it is equipped as standard with super hard small diameter low height tires that are hard to bounce after jumping and demonstrate high cornering performance. We also set a logo of the machine name with a strong presence and a metallic sticker that expresses windows.

[Adopting FM-A chassis with front motor layout]

The chassis FM-A with front motor layout incorporating aero design.?Since the center of gravity is closer to the front of the car body, the height of the jump is suppressed and it leads to a sense of stability.?In addition, the four rollers are also made of low friction resin, including a skid bar made of low friction resin at the bottom of the front.?In particular, the rear roller is an 8mm thick type with improved stability.?In addition, the motor can be easily replaced from the bottom of the chassis, and setting changes can be made quickly.?Various parts can be attached to the aero side stay, which is inspired by the cross-sectional shape of the wing of an airplane.?The gear ratio is set to 5: 1.
