1/32 JR Mini 4WD K4 Tasche (FM-A Chassis)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Retro Style Meets Modern Performance! This unique Mini 4WD model captures the playful charm of a vintage customized small truck. With its light green body and "kei-truck" inspired design, the K4 Tasche is guaranteed to catch everyone's attention at the track. At Hobby Hideaway, we love this kit because it proves that you don't have to sacrifice performance for personality. It’s the perfect choice for racers who want a stand-out look while utilizing one of Tamiya's most capable modern chassis.

The FM-A Chassis: Aerodynamic Front Motor Power The FM-A chassis is a front-motor masterpiece designed with advanced aerodynamic themes. By placing the center of gravity toward the front, this chassis excels on technical tracks, especially those with frequent elevation changes and jumps. The front-heavy bias helps the truck land flat and stay planted. Featuring a low-friction front skid bar and easy underside motor access, the FM-A provides a rock-solid, high-performance foundation that is incredibly easy to maintain and tune.

Vintage Vibes with Tough Components Don't let the "playful" image fool you—the K4 Tasche is built tough. The light green plastic body consists of two separate sections for added detail, including a two-layer truck bed with plenty of storage space. The retro ivory dish wheels aren't just for show; they are paired with high-performance super hard small-diameter tires that reduce "bounce" and maintain stability through technical sections. It’s a specialized combination of classic aesthetics and competition-ready hardware.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Winning in Mini 4WD is about the perfect balance of speed and stability. Since the K4 Tasche has a slightly higher profile, focus your first upgrade on Mass Dampers. Placing these weights on the side or rear of the FM-A chassis will help counteract the center of gravity, ensuring your truck stays glued to the rails when it lands after a jump. A consistent car that stays on the track is much more likely to take the win than a faster car that can't handle the obstacles!
