Tamiya 18709 Baron Viento FM-A Retro Mini 4WD Kit  [18709]

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.

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.
