Tamiya 18098 Iron Beak VZ Chassis 1/32 Mini 4WD Club Kit  [18098]

Introducing the Iron Beak Mini 4WD

The Iron Beak presents a purposeful race-inspired profile, featuring a V-shaped nose and divided rear wing that give it an aggressive presence on the track. The sculpted front area and dual rear spoilers enhance its aerodynamic character.

Design and Materials

The model mirrors modern race car lines and is produced from sturdy ABS plastic to handle the demands of competitive running while keeping a neat finish for display.

Chassis Construction - VZ

Underneath, the VZ chassis offers a compact, lightweight layout with reinforced bumpers and strong rear stay locations. This makes it resilient yet flexible enough to accept common upgrade parts for improved lap times.

Performance and Modding Options

• Motor and Gear Compatibility: Specified for a 130-size motor and supplied with a 3.5:1 gear ratio to balance acceleration and top speed for varied track profiles.
• Tire and Wheel Options: The kit includes white wheels with black low-profile tyres, selected to help maintain grip and reduce rolling resistance.
• Roller and Stay Configurations: Screw-attached rear roller stays and front bumper mounts accommodate FRP and carbon stays so you can tune handling and cornering behaviour.

Kit Assembly Notes

The Iron Beak is supplied as a build kit aimed at hobbyists, with colour-moulded components that cut down finishing work and metallic stickers for detail. Two AA batteries are required to run the finished car and are not included.

Offering distinctive styling and a mod-friendly VZ chassis, the Tamiya Iron Beak suits both collectors and racers who enjoy fine-tuning handling and speed.
