Tamiya 95298 Jolly Joker Premium (AR Chassis)

Jolly Nice to Meet You Again…

This is a premium version of the Jolly-Joker, a model which first appeared in the Truckin’ Mini 4WD Series back in 1990. It cuts a cool figure with its lowered-down truck body finished in black with smoke-colored tinted windows. The car’s markings and number are depicted using stickers included in the kit. It is based on the AR chassis, which includes screw-attached side catch mounts to enable the attachment of the Jolly-Joker body. The motor and batteries can be attached and detached without removing the body from the chassis. Different-width front and rear small diameter wheels have wire-type spokes finished in gold and are mounted on slick tires.

AR Chassis

The AR chassis is designed to offer its driver durability, customizability and ease of maintenance, all of which are key ingredients for a successful Mini 4WD racer. Its aerodynamic form smoothly allows air to pass through the chassis interior as the machine runs, performing the vital function of cooling the batteries and motor and extending their effectiveness. This high-speed racing chassis also features low-friction plastic bearings to ensure that any loss of power from the engine to the wheels is minimal in nature. The under panel and diffuser can be removed from the model without taking off the body, while a low-friction rear skid bar is fitted to slash time loss experienced on tricky slope sections, and keep the racer on the track where it belongs. Features a 4.2:1 gear ratio.
