Intro to the FM Reinforced Chassis Red

The Tamiya 94840 FM Reinforced Chassis Red provides a reinforced platform aimed at Mini 4WD modellers who want a durable, neat looking chassis. The red moulding gives a clean finish while strengthening core areas.

Chassis specification and behaviour

This FM chassis features a front-mounted motor that shifts the weight balance forward, offering improved directional stability and consistent responses on fast sections and chicanes. Reinforcements help resist flex under load.

Customisation and upgrades

It accepts standard 130 single-shaft motors and supports common tuning changes such as different tyre profiles, gear selections and ballast placement to match circuit demands.

Putting it together and care

Assembly is simple thanks to snap-fit parts, making it accessible to newcomers. The red colour is attractive straight out of the box, though it also takes paint and decals for those who prefer a bespoke finish.

Yes, the snap-fit design keeps the build straightforward. New builders will still need patience for setup and tuning, but the basic assembly steps are clear and manageable.
Regularly check and clean bearings, inspect for cracks around mounting points, and refresh small parts like bushes. Light lubrication of rotating parts preserves smooth running.
For tighter circuits, reduce top-end gearing, fit softer or higher grip tyres and move weight slightly rearward to improve cornering grip and reduce understeer.
