The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Stealth Style Meets Technical Mastery! Classic car design makes its way to the track again with the Lord Guile! At Hobby Hideaway, we are huge fans of the "sophisticated racer" aesthetic, and this kit delivers it in spades. The body, molded in a striking Light Gun Metal, features separate grille and rear window parts that provide a level of detail and depth that really pops. If you’re looking for a machine that balances vintage elegance with an aggressive, modern edge, the Lord Guile is a fantastic choice for your next build.
Aerodynamic Front-Motor Performance on the FM-A Chassis The Lord Guile sits on the FM-A Chassis, a front-motor unit engineered for serious technical racing. By shifting the center of gravity toward the front, Tamiya has created a platform that is naturally "at home" on tracks with frequent elevation changes and jumps. The easy-access underside allows for lightning-fast motor swaps and setup tweaks in the pits, making it a favorite for racers who like to tune on the fly.
