1/32 JR Mini 4WD Baron Viento (FM-A Chassis)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Connor's Top Pick! At Hobby Hideaway, we love a kit that breaks the mold, and the Baron Viento does exactly that. Inspired by the "chopped-roof" customized classic cars of yesteryear, this model offers a sophisticated, vintage flavor that stands out in a field of futuristic racers. This kit is Connor's top pick—he loves the unique Light Green molding and the detailed front grille and headlights that give it a level of "shelf appeal" and realism that makes it a standout choice for any builder.

Aerodynamic Dominance on the FM-A Chassis Don't let the retro looks fool you—underneath that classic body lies the FM-A Chassis, Tamiya’s advanced front-motor unit. By shifting the center of gravity toward the front, this chassis is incredibly stable on tracks with frequent jumps and elevation changes. The aerodynamic underside and easy-access motor housing make it a favorite for racers who want a competitive edge with quick setup changes between heats.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Vintage Custom Body: A "chopped-roof" classic car design molded in Light Green ABS, featuring a detailed separate grille and headlight components.

• Front-Motor Stability: The FM-A Chassis provides a front-heavy balance, keeping the car pinned during high-speed technical sections.

• Pro-Level Rollers: Includes 8mm thick rear rollers for superb stability and a low-friction front skid bar to maintain speed through the corners.

• Classic Rolling Stock: Elegant White wheels paired with Black tires for a clean, timeless look, finished with dedicated metallic stickers.
