Classic Shell with Modern Mini 4WD Engineering

The Tamiya Baron Viento 18709 pairs an old school car profile with Mini 4WD practicality, featuring a pale green ABS body, separately moulded grille headlights, and a chopped roof that recalls vintage automotive lines.

How the FM-A Chassis Behaves

The FM-A setup positions the motor at the front, shifting the centre of gravity forward which helps control through elevation and corners. Low friction front skid bars and a quartet of rollers, including 8mm rear rollers, help retain stability on the track.

Practical Tuning Advice

This kit works with common 130 single-shaft motors and uses a 3.5:1 gear ratio, allowing racers to tweak motor and gearing choices for club meets or practice sessions.

Specifications

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

Tamiya's Baron Viento offers a stylish mini body on a functional FM-A chassis, making it a solid pick for hobbyists who want both display value and room to tune for performance.

Ordered 3 Tamiya Mini 4wd Hyundai kits which all arrived together securely packed within a week of ordering. This wasn’t the first time I’ve ordered from rcjaz.com and hopefully won’t be the last. Ordering is simple and always sent extremely quick
Assembly time varies with experience but most hobbyists can complete the snap-fit build in an evening, with decals and final adjustments taking extra time.
Choose tyre compounds based on surface type; harder tyres for high speed tracks and softer compounds for improved corner grip on lower traction layouts.
Tamiya parts for the FM-A chassis and common accessories are widely available, so replacement rollers, gears and motors are straightforward to source.
The ABS body accepts paints well but adding a clear coat can improve resistance to scratches during track use and handling.
