The Tamiya 18718 K4 Gambol pairs an eye-catching custom truck aesthetic with the proven performance of a Mini 4WD platform. It is aimed at racers who want both show and tuning potential.
The Metallic Orange body comes split into two parts to simplify two-tone paint schemes. Included details like an animal guard and roll bar give the model a distinctive look and can be painted separately for contrast.
The FM-A chassis uses a front motor arrangement to move mass forward for improved handling on technical tracks. Aerodynamic touches, a front skid bar with low friction and robust 8mm rear rollers all help with stability through high speed sections.
Builders can fit many Grade-Up Parts to tailor acceleration, cornering and top speed. The kit ships with a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, giving a solid baseline for experimenting with different setups.
Assembly is clear and approachable thanks to snap-fit components and detailed instructions. The chassis design provides straightforward motor access for quick changes. Two AA batteries are needed to power the model and are sold separately.
The Tamiya 18718 K4 Gambol is a flexible Mini 4WD platform that appeals to collectors and competitive tuners alike, thanks to its styling, buildability and upgrade potential.
