Racing pedigree and design

The Tamiya 19454 Cosmosonic FM-A Chassis Mini 4WD Kit channels classic Japanese Mini 4WD styling into a compact package. Its futuristic silhouette is backed by practical chassis engineering to give a credible on-track presence for hobbyists and racers alike.

Engineered aerodynamic body

Styled with multiple fins and aero elements, the Cosmosonic body combines visual flair with improved airflow. The three-piece white ABS construction keeps weight down while providing a durable shell that responds well to painting and decals.

Front-driven FM-A chassis traits

By placing the motor at the front, the FM-A layout shifts the center of mass forward, helping the car stay planted on variable circuits. The chassis includes low-friction front skid bars, four rollers for corner guidance, and robust 8mm rear rollers to stabilise high speed runs.

Easy upgrades and parts swaps

The kit comes with a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, giving a good baseline for tuning. Enthusiasts can install different motors, tyres and Grade-Up Parts to refine handling or boost straight-line speed. Motor access is simple for swift swaps between qualifying and race runs.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: FM-A
  • Motor Compatibility: Type 130
  • Body Style: Aero Coupe
  • Wheel Type: Low-Profile Tires
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1

The Tamiya 19454 Cosmosonic FM-A Chassis Mini 4WD Kit is a user friendly platform with strong upgrade potential. It suits modelers who like to balance visual customisation with competitive setup work.

Assembly follows typical Mini 4WD procedures and is suitable for newcomers with patience. Clear instructions and snap fit parts make it manageable, though some sanding and trimming may be required for a perfect fit.
Low-profile tyres are the default choice for the Cosmosonic to keep the centre of gravity low. Foam or rubber compound tyres can be tried depending on track grip and surface condition.
Yes, the FM-A chassis' forward weight bias helps when climbing ramps, but tuning roller height and skid bars is recommended to prevent handling issues on steep transitions.
