Vintage truck aesthetic - Tamiya 18720 - 1/32 K4 Tasche FM-A Chassis Rev Series Mini 4WD Kit  [18720]

Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche: vintage truck charm on an FM-A platform

The Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche pairs old school pickup styling with a modern Mini 4WD chassis. Its characterful bodywork is matched to an FM-A layout that gives straightforward handling and easy access for tuning.

Appearance and wheel choice

The two-piece body in light green reproduces classic truck lines while allowing neat paint work. Dish-style ivory wheels reinforce the retro look and the super hard, low-profile black tyres keep resistance down for predictable lap times.

Handling traits of the FM-A chassis

The front motor FM-A setup shifts weight forward for stability over crests and on approach to chicanes. Low-friction front skid bars plus a mix of small rollers and 8mm rear rollers help maintain rhythm through successive corners.

Customising for different surfaces

The kit includes a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear train, and the chassis lends itself to quick swaps. Common customisation steps are trying different tyre compounds, changing roller materials for less friction, and fitting a motor tuned for either torque or top end depending on the circuit.

For enthusiasts who like period styling with a tunable chassis, the Tamiya 18720 K4 Tasche offers a solid balance of looks and race day adjustability.
