Description

The Tamiya Mini 4WD REV Series No. 12 Road Gyle FM-A Chassis is a plastic assembly kit created for high-performance shaft-drive 4WD racing. Inspired by classic automobiles, its body has a long, low front profile, a light gun metal ABS finish, and a separate grille component for enhanced three-dimensional detail. Gold and purple accent lines add a refined appearance, while metallic stickers complete the headlights and other body details.

Using Tamiya’s FM-A front-motor chassis, the Road Gyle is engineered for steady performance on courses featuring repeated climbs and drops. Low-friction resin rollers, a low-friction skid bar, a thicker rear roller, and a bottom-access motor support easy setup changes and stable running. Assembly is required; suitable tools and two AA batteries are needed for use.

Care instructions

Build the model with appropriate tools and take care when handling the plastic body and small components. Keep the finished Tamiya Mini 4WD model in a clean, dry, dust-free place away from direct sunlight. Use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle brush to remove dust, and do not apply water or strong cleaners to the plastic or stickers. Store spare parts and batteries separately when the model is not in use.
