Compact Fully Cowled design of the Great Magnum R

The Great Magnum R continues Tamiya's Fully Cowled Mini 4WD tradition and nods to the "Let's & Go!!" series. Built on the FM-A platform, it combines an eye-catching shell with a front midship layout that favours controlled handling on technical layouts.

Chassis layout and on-track behaviour

With the motor positioned forward in the FM-A chassis, the centre of gravity shifts ahead to improve traction and cornering over uneven sections. The package includes a front skid bar plus four rollers; the rear rollers are 8mm thick to add roll stability at speed.

Personalising the build and compatibility notes

The black FM-A chassis works well with the supplied low-friction POM parts and a white-moulded body for contrast. Blue and white metallic stickers personalise the shell while fluorescent green A-spoke wheels and black low-profile tyres finish the aesthetic. The kit uses a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, and fits common Mini 4WD upgrade parts.

Assembly is straightforward for anyone familiar with snap-fit and screw-assembled Mini 4WD kits. Basic tools and patience make this a good project for learning about chassis setup.
The FM-A chassis excels on tracks with undulations and quick elevation changes, where the forward mass distribution helps the car stay settled through consecutive rises and drops.
Yes, some racers swap gear sets for specific lap goals, but keep in mind the stock 3.5:1 ratio is balanced for acceleration and top speed on typical circuits.
