The JR Flame Astute fitted with the AR Chassis is a compact Mini 4WD platform that combines aerodynamic form with practical upgrade paths. It appeals to builders who enjoy setup work and on-track adjustments.
Styled after track-focused cars, the Flame Astute is moulded in red ABS plastic for a neat finish and long service life. Metallic stickers provide contrast and a professional-looking livery straight out of the box.
The AR Chassis incorporates air channels to cut wind resistance and help the car hold speed on straights. Its low centre of gravity favours stability through bends, and the snap-fit design keeps construction simple.
Owners can fit higher-performance motors, swap tyres, and test alternative gear ratios to suit different circuits. The factory 3.5:1 gearing is a good starting point for further tuning.
Wide compatibility with Tamiya parts makes it straightforward to tune handling and traction. Whether you focus on top speed or predictable cornering, the chassis accepts common upgrades.
The JR Flame Astute is well suited to Mini 4WD enthusiasts who want a tidy balance of aerodynamic styling and performance tuning for competitive or casual racing.
