Tamiya 18098 Iron Beak VZ Chassis 1/32 Mini 4WD Special Edition  [18098]

About the Iron Beak Mini 4WD

The Iron Beak brings a sharp, aerodynamic profile to the Mini 4WD range, featuring a pronounced V nose and split rear wings that mirror high performance styling. Its front fender and dual rear elements add both visual flair and aerodynamic function.

Exterior Styling and Durability

With clean race-inspired contours, the body is produced in resilient ABS plastic to withstand impacts from practice and racing while keeping its striking appearance.

Design of the VZ Chassis

The VZ chassis provides a compact, lightweight framework with reinforced points like the front bumper and rear stay bases to boost durability. It also leaves room for common upgrades that improve lap times.

Customisation Opportunities

• Motor and Gear Compatibility: The car is compatible with a 130-size motor and uses a 3.5:1 gear ratio out of the box, giving a good mix of torque and speed for varied track layouts.
• Tire and Wheel Options: Fitted with white wheels and black low-profile tyres that lower the centre of gravity and help maintain corner speed.
• Roller and Stay Configurations: Screw-on rear roller stays and front bumper fixtures accept FRP or carbon stays for improved cornering precision and reduced bounce.

Building the Kit

This kit is supplied for assembly with colour-moulded parts that reduce finishing time, plus metallic stickers for added detail. Two AA batteries are required for operation but are not included in the box.

Combining bold aesthetics with a mod-friendly VZ chassis, the Tamiya Iron Beak is a versatile kit for hobbyists who enjoy personalising performance and looks.
