Description
Assemble and race the Tamiya Flame Astute Mini 4WD REV Series No 5 AR Chassis, a plastic kit created for exciting high-performance four-wheel-drive racing. With its narrow front nose and broad rear body, the aerodynamic design presents a distinctive profile influenced by the Astute, off-road vehicles, and American racing machines. Front wings, side pontoons, sweeping rear wing tips, and induction-pod air intakes provide added visual detail. Careful assembly and handling can help prevent damage during use.
Designed with racing in mind, the AR chassis features an airflow system that guides cooling air toward the motor and batteries. Low-friction plastic bearings help minimize drive loss, while the detachable underpanel and diffuser allow convenient chassis access without taking off the body. Rear skid bars assist with maintaining the machine’s posture on sloped course sections, and the included 3.5:1 super-fast gear is made for quick track performance.
