Tamiya 95163 K4 Gambol Silver Metallic - Model Brief

The Tamiya 95163 K4 Gambol Silver Metallic presents a compact, performance-minded Mini 4WD package. With the FM-A chassis, it is aimed at hobbyists who value both a striking body and chassis that responds well to setup changes.

Aerodynamic Rally Lines

The shell borrows rally styling and is finished in a metallic silver that highlights the contours. Those shapes help channel airflow and contribute to a tidy appearance at the track or on the display shelf.

FM-A Chassis Characteristics

The FM-A front midship layout moves the motor ahead of the centre for a different weight distribution. This aids directional stability and makes steering inputs more consistent on twisty track layouts.

Customising for Performance

Racers can pursue multiple upgrade routes: test higher torque 130 motors, change tyres to suit surface grip, and adjust gear ratios. Minor weight tuning and stabiliser additions are common ways to refine handling.

Assembly and User Experience

Parts are built for snap-fit assembly, removing the need for glue and speeding up build time. This approach suits beginners while leaving room for experienced tuners to modify components.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: FM-A
  • Body Style: Rally Car Inspired
  • Motor Compatibility: Standard 130 Single-Shaft Motors
  • Customization Potential: High with Various Upgrades

For racers after a distinctive body and a tunable FM-A layout, the Tamiya 95163 K4 Gambol Silver Metallic offers a good balance of styling and upgrade potential.

Lower final drive ratios help apply torque more effectively for quicker acceleration. Experiment with one or two teeth changes on pinion or spur gears to find the right balance between acceleration and top speed.
Yes, many hop-up parts compatible with the FM-A layout are available, including reinforced parts, low-friction components and stabiliser accessories. Always confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Absolutely. The snap-fit build keeps the learning curve gentle, while incremental upgrades let beginners progressively improve lap times as they learn setup basics.
Basic hobby tools such as small screwdrivers and side cutters are sufficient. A hobby knife and fine files help with trimming and smoothing parts before assembly.
