Off-road look, track ready - Tamiya 18720 - 1/32 K4 Tasche FM-A Chassis Rev Series Mini 4WD Kit  [18720]

Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche: classic truck shell with FM-A performance

The Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche brings a retro truck silhouette to Mini 4WD racing. Its distinctive styling makes it an eye catcher while the FM-A chassis delivers a stable platform that adapts well to different circuit profiles.

Shell details and wheel setup

Body panels are supplied in light green plastic with a two-part layout that simplifies painting and trimming. The ivory dish wheels enhance the vintage look and the black, super hard low-profile tyres reduce rolling drag, making them a logical starting point for tuning.

FM-A chassis layout and track behaviour

The front motor FM-A configuration helps manage weight distribution for predictable cornering, especially on tracks with ups and downs. Low-friction front skid bars and a combination of four small rollers and 8mm thick rear rollers help keep the car running straight at speed.

Practical modifications and maintenance tips

The kit includes a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, and its design allows fast motor access for tune sessions. Common modifications include trying different tyre compounds, lighter rollers, or alternative Type 130 replacements to match course demands. Regular cleaning and checking screws keeps performance consistent.

The Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche is well suited to hobbyists who want a distinctive body plus a chassis that is straightforward to tune for local track conditions.
