Retro truck mini 4WD - Tamiya 18720 - 1/32 K4 Tasche FM-A Chassis Rev Series Mini 4WD Kit  [18720]

Overview of the Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche: retro looks with a racing chassis

The Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche blends classic pickup styling with Mini 4WD performance. Its compact silhouette and period details give it character on the circuit, while the FM-A underpinnings keep handling predictable during competitive runs.

Retro-inspired body, built for trimming and paint

The two-piece light green body provides easy access for painting and detail work, and the moulded plastic is sturdy enough for regular track use. Ivory polypropylene dish wheels complete the throwback look, and the small-diameter, super hard low-profile tyres offer a balance of low drag and consistent lap times.

What the FM-A chassis brings to the table

With a front motor layout, the FM-A chassis shifts the centre of gravity forward, aiding stability on rises and fast approach sections. Low-friction skid bars at the front and a set of rollers including beefy 8mm rear rollers help the car track cleanly through corners.

Simple upgrade paths for club racing

This kit arrives with a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear set, and the layout makes routine swaps straightforward. Typical upgrades include alternative motor types, tyre compounds matched to the surface, and roller variations to fine tune stability and corner speed.

The Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche is a good fit for hobbyists who appreciate a retro shell and a chassis that responds well to straightforward tuning for different track surfaces.
