The Tamiya 95699 model is a 1/32 scale Mini 4WD assembly kit built around the FM-A front-motor chassis and presented as a colour-specific release within the K4 Tasche family.
The Jr K4 Tasche Vivid Special sports a fluorescent pink and green finish paired with yellow dish wheels and a clear light-gray ABS body that shows interior detail. The design channels a compact vintage pickup silhouette reinterpreted as a Mini 4WD body shell. The interior can accommodate up to two driver figures (figures not included) and the kit includes metallic decals tailored to this edition.
The FM-A chassis features a front-motor arrangement with attention to aerodynamic flow and a front-heavy centre of gravity that benefits courses with varied elevation. The underside layout provides accessible motor location and simple setup options. Low-friction front skid and roller parts are fitted to cut friction while the thicker 8mm rear rollers improve straight-line stability on standard circuits.
Assembly follows typical Mini 4WD kit steps; body mounting points and panel clearances align with FM-A norms, and the transparent body finish retains painted or moulded detail. This offering is a finished-colour variant rather than a race-focused upgrade pack; tuning advice is therefore limited to FM-A compatible parts.
