TAMIYA 18098 Mini 4WD Iron Beak (VZ Chassis)

Overall length: 158 mm. The photo shows the kit assembled and painted. [The hot V-shape that rushes to victory] This is a plastic model assembly kit of a high-performance racer that uses a shaft drive four-wheel drive. The Iron Beak is a machine with an eye-catching V-shape that flows from the nose to the side of the cockpit. The name comes from the silhouette that cuts through the air, reminiscent of the beaks of birds of prey such as hawks, eagles, and falcons. In addition, the incorporation of aerodynamic devices that are popular in motorsports, such as the front fender that aims for a streamlining effect and the two-part rear wing, stimulates the racer's spirit. The cutting-edge bodywork creates a high-spec run. The chassis is a lightweight, compact VZ with full characteristics suitable for practical use. The chassis color is two-tone gray and red, and small-diameter low-height tires are attached to the white fin-type wheels. The striking red stripes that tighten the impression are expressed with metallic stickers. [VZ chassis with strength and expandability] The VZ chassis is a refined version of the popular VS chassis, which is small, lightweight, and has a short wheelbase, and is also used in races. While retaining the excellent features of the VS chassis, such as maneuverability and ease of maintenance, the strength of the bumper, rear stay base, propeller shaft bearing, etc. has been increased. Another key point is the moderate "flexibility" that absorbs shocks. In addition to the rear roller stays, the front bumper can also be separated. The freedom of setting has also been greatly improved. The shaft bearings use 620 plastic bearings made of POM resin, which has low friction resistance. Both the chassis body and A parts such as the gear cover are made of ABS resin. The gear ratio is set to 3.5:1.
