The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Award-Winning Mecha Design! The Mach Frame is a masterpiece of futuristic design, penned by the famous Takayuki Yamazaki (the same mind behind the DCR series). Winning the 2018 Mini 4WD Design Contest, this machine looks more like a high-tech motorcycle or a piece of sci-fi armor than a traditional car. At Hobby Hideaway, we highly recommend the Mach Frame for racers who want a visually stunning, multi-piece body paired with the aggressive jumping stability of the FM-A Chassis.
Front-Motor FM-A Dominance Built on the FM-A (Front Midship Aero) Chassis, this machine thrives on technical tracks. By housing the motor at the front, the Mach Frame naturally points its nose down during jumps, ensuring a smooth, level flight and a firmly planted landing. The chassis is highly aerodynamic and features a molded front skid bar to help you attack steep slopes with total confidence.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Multi-Piece Body: The unique white body is composed of four separate parts, making it incredibly easy to customize and paint different sections without complex masking.
FM-A Chassis Layout: Front-mounted motor design for superior stability and jump control.
Super Hard Tires: Comes stock with black super hard low-profile tires, which significantly reduce bouncing upon landing.
High-Speed Drivetrain: Includes a 3.5:1 high-speed gear ratio and a standard Type 130 motor.
Premium Wheels: Equipped with sharp, white A-spoke wheels that complement the futuristic aesthetic.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: The stock super hard tires are a massive advantage right out of the box! They have less grip than standard rubber, meaning the car will "slide" a bit more through the corners, reducing the chance of flipping over. Because the body is split into four pieces, we highly recommend grabbing a few different colors of Tamiya TS spray paint to give your Mach Frame a completely unique, custom-colored exoskeleton before hitting the track!
