Summary for the Tamiya 95163 K4 Gambol Silver Metallic

The Tamiya 95163 K4 Gambol Silver Metallic is a Mini 4WD kit that pairs a retro rally aesthetic with the FM-A chassis platform. It is designed to be both visually appealing and straightforward to adjust for different racing conditions.

Iconic Rally Form

The silver metallic paintwork accentuates the body contours and gives a motorsport-inspired look. The aerodynamic profile works to reduce resistance and keep the car stable at speed.

Front Midship FM-A Design

The FM-A chassis places the motor in a front midship position to alter weight distribution for improved directional control. This setup can be advantageous on technical circuits with frequent direction changes.

Options for Track Tuning

Enthusiasts can pursue upgrades such as higher-performance 130 motors, tailored tyre choices and gear adjustments. Small weight changes and suspension-style tuning parts can help dial in cornering and stability.

Build Experience

The kit features snap-fit construction so glue is not required, making it accessible for newcomers. At the same time it leaves space for more serious tuners to experiment with parts and setup choices.
