Retro Styling with an Eye on Performance

The Tamiya Baron Viento, 18709, showcases a light green ABS shell inspired by classic cars, complete with separate grille headlights and a chopped roof profile that stands out on the pit table.

FM-A Chassis: Track Ready Traits

The FM-A chassis is designed to cope with courses that feature rises and falls by putting the motor up front for a forward biased centre of gravity. It ships with low-friction front skid bars and four rollers, with 8mm rear rollers for consistent tracking.

Race Prep and Upgrades

Owners can fit standard 130 single-shaft motors and make use of the 3.5:1 gearing to tune acceleration versus top speed. The layout makes routine maintenance and part swaps quick at the track.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: FM-A
  • Body Style: Classic Car
  • Motor Compatibility: Standard 130 Single-Shaft
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1
  • Material: Light Green ABS

With its period-inspired body and adaptable FM-A underpinnings, the Tamiya Baron Viento offers a balanced platform for hobbyists who like to tune both looks and lap times.

Is the Baron Viento suitable for experienced tuners?

Yes, the FM-A platform provides plenty of tuning points for chassis balance, roller configuration and gearing choices favored by experienced racers.

What gearing is included?

The kit uses a 3.5:1 gear ratio out of the box, which is a common starting point for balancing acceleration and top speed.

Can I run this on high banked circuits?

The FM-A chassis handles banked sections well when set up with appropriate rollers and tyre choices, though final tuning depends on track profile and speed.

How durable is the body shell?

The light green ABS body is robust for typical Mini 4WD use, and any scuffs can be minimised with protective guards or a clear finish.
