Heritage Design Meets Mini 4WD Function

The Tamiya Baron Viento, model 18709, channels classic automotive styling into a Mini 4WD package, sporting a light green ABS body, separate grille headlights and a sculpted chopped roof for authentic period detailing.

Performance Traits of the FM-A Chassis

The FM-A chassis positions the motor at the front for a forward centre of gravity, which aids control on tracks with changes in elevation. The design includes low friction skid bars at the front and a set of four rollers, with the rear pair made 8mm thick to improve stability.

Customisation and Tuning Options

Compatible with standard 130 single-shaft motors and fitted with a 3.5:1 gear ratio, the Baron Viento is straightforward to modify for differing track requirements and driver preferences.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: FM-A
  • Body Style: Classic Car
  • Motor Compatibility: Standard 130 Single-Shaft
  • Gear Ratio: 3.5:1
  • Material: Light Green ABS

Tamiya's Baron Viento blends vintage looks with the adaptable FM-A platform, suitable for modelers who want a period appearance alongside practical upgrade paths.

Ordered 3 Tamiya Mini 4wd Hyundai kits which all arrived together securely packed within a week of ordering. This wasn’t the first time I’ve ordered from rcjaz.com and hopefully won’t be the last. Ordering is simple and always sent extremely quick

Does the kit include the motor?

The kit is built around compatibility with standard 130 single-shaft motors but typically does not include a motor, so check the product listing for included items.

What maintenance does the FM-A chassis need?

Regular checks of gear mesh, roller bearings and tyre wear will keep the chassis performing; cleaning low friction parts and replacing worn rollers helps consistency.

Is this a good display model?

Yes, the detailed body style and light green finish make the Baron Viento an attractive display piece for collectors as well as a functional racer.

Which parts are common upgrade targets?

Common upgrades include higher performance 130 motors, alternative roller configurations, and tyre swaps to match specific track surfaces.
