Tamiya 19204 - Retro Variatron VS Chassis Model Kit  [19204]

1/32 Variatron Tamiya 19204 with VS Chassis

The Tamiya 19204 - 1/32 Variatron brings a retro-inspired silhouette to the Mini 4WD family, mounted on the compact VS chassis. It appeals to collectors who want an eye-catching model plus to builders who enjoy fitting small performance tweaks. The chassis layout keeps things neat and compact for nimble handling on twisty sections while the longer wheelbase and broader tread help keep the car tracking true when displayed or run at moderate speed.

Designed mainly as a display-friendly machine, the Variatron still supports modest upgrades for hobby use. The kit arrives with large diameter wheels and racing slicks to stress straight-line pace, but those aiming to race seriously should consider compatible performance parts. You will need a 130 type electric motor plus two AA batteries to complete the build, and these are not included.
