Reinforced FM Platform - Tamiya 95243

What it Is

The Tamiya 95243 FM Reinforced Chassis in red is a robust platform aimed at Mini 4WD hobbyists who want a solid starting point for custom builds. Made from reinforced polycarbonate ABS, it offers a dependable and repair-friendly base for regular use and modifications.

Features and Chassis Behaviour

The front motor style of the FM chassis alters balance compared to rear motor layouts, giving a different feel through corners and on straights. As the predecessor to Super FM, it provides a proven geometry for tuning suspension, gearing and weight placement.

Body Fit and Performance Upgrades

Compatible with bodies such as Crimson Glory, Neo Burning Sun and Aero-Solitude, this chassis supports a variety of upgrades like higher torque motors, alternative gear ratios and performance tyres to suit different track surfaces.
