The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Pioneer of Modern Midship Performance! At Hobby Hideaway, we have a special respect for the kit that started it all. The Tamiya Blast Arrow was the very first machine to introduce the world to the MA chassis, and it remains a powerhouse today. Its body design is a direct nod to the elite prototype sports cars seen at legendary endurance races like Le Mans, featuring fully enclosed front wheels and a high-downforce delta wing that screams "pro-level" performance.
Maximum Efficiency with Midship Aerodynamics The Blast Arrow is the perfect evolution of Tamiya engineering, built on the high-performance MA (Midship Aero) Chassis. This chassis is a favorite in our Orléans racing community because it takes the centralized, dual-shaft motor balance of the MS chassis and integrates advanced aerodynamic features. The result is a single-piece monocoque frame that offers incredible power transmission and a stable, high-speed ride that is remarkably easy to maintain.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Prototype Sports Car Styling: Features a sleek "Le Mans" style body with a massive rear delta wing and integrated cowlings for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
Revolutionary MA Chassis: The first chassis to feature a one-piece, midship-aero design, providing a rigid platform that eliminates power loss and simplifies track-side assembly.
Dual-Shaft Motor Power: Includes a center-mounted Type 130 motor that drives both the front and rear wheels directly for perfect 4WD torque and balance.
High-Speed Airflow: The chassis underside is sculpted for optimal airflow, helping the car stay sucked down to the track during high-velocity straights.
Beginner & Veteran Friendly: The simple, robust internal layout makes it one of the easiest "PRO" series cars to build, tune, and repair during a long day of racing.
Competition Specs: Comes out of the box with a high-speed gear ratio and a smooth-running gear train designed for competitive performance.
