This plastic assembly kit of a high-performance shaft-driven four-wheel drive racer recreates the jeepney, a beloved public bus in the Philippines, in Mini 4WD. The glossy red ABS resin body captures not only the charming bonnet bus style, but also the retro-designed front fascia and rear entrance. The eaves roof and the horse figure on the bonnet are separate parts for added dimension. Beautiful paint job results are a delight. The FM-A chassis features a front-motor layout and is fitted with silver A-spoke wheels and low-profile black tires. Metallic stickers are included to accentuate the eye-catching, dazzling color scheme, headlights, logo, and more.
The FM-A chassis features a front-motor layout that incorporates an aerodynamic design. The center of gravity is positioned toward the front of the body, providing stable running even on courses with many ups and downs. A low-friction resin skid bar is standard equipment at the bottom of the front, and the four rollers are also made from low-friction resin. The rear roller in particular is an 8mm thick type that provides increased stability. Furthermore, the motor can be easily replaced from the bottom of the chassis, allowing for quick setting changes. The aero side stays, inspired by the cross-sectional shape of an airplane wing, can be used to attach various parts. The chassis body is made of ABS resin and the A parts, made of low-friction resin, are red. The gear ratio is set at 4.2:1.
