Introducing the Z Wing-Magnum

The Tamiya Z Wing-Magnum, by Tetsuhiro Koshita, nods to the "Let's & Go!" series and was released as part of the 20th anniversary lineup. Mounted on the AR Chassis, the kit blends aerodynamic styling with a practical, tuneable platform.

Body shape and inspiration

Constructed from ABS plastic, the Z Wing-Magnum body shows sharp contours and a forward intake for airflow management. The look recalls the original animation while remaining durable for regular track use.

AR chassis characteristics

The AR Chassis is engineered for aerodynamic benefit and accessible servicing. Its layout makes it easy to change components, and the included 130 motor provides steady, stock-level drive.

Upgrade advice and options

Popular upgrades include fitting higher torque motors, trying different tyre compounds, and experimenting with gear ratios to match specific circuits. The factory 3.5:1 gearing offers a sensible balance of speed and control.

Building notes

The snap-fit assembly keeps the build straightforward, with minimal tools needed. Many modelers personalise the front cowls or apply custom paints to capture the character of the original design.
