The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Striking Speed Named After a Mythical Blade! At Hobby Hideaway, we have a deep respect for machines that carry a legacy of sharp design and high performance. The Raikiri is a stunning creation by renowned designer Kota Nezu, named after the mythical sword legendary for its ability to cut through lightning. This isn't just a standard car; it is a "designer" special that blends the sleek, flowing lines of a modern GT sports car with an aggressive racing stance. It brings a sophisticated, lightning-fast look to the track that stands out in any heat at our Orléans shop.
Maximum Efficiency with Midship Aerodynamics Matching the razor-sharp styling of the body, this kit is built on the high-performance MA (Midship Aero) Chassis. The MA is a standout choice for high-velocity racing because it combines a specialized midship motor layout with a heavy-duty, one-piece construction. By eliminating the need for a separate gearbox, the MA chassis reduces mechanical friction and provides a super-rigid platform. This design ensures that every bit of torque from the motor is transferred directly to the track, giving you a smooth and dependable ride even through the most demanding technical sections.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Designer GT Styling: Features a body designed by Kota Nezu, capturing the essence of a high-end sports car with a low center of gravity and aerodynamic curves.
Integrated Midship Aerodynamics: The MA chassis design funnels air through the internal frame to cool the motor and maximize downforce, keeping your car pinned during high-speed straights.
Dual-Shaft Motor Power: Includes a center-mounted Type 130 motor that drives both the front and rear wheels directly for near-perfect weight distribution and torque.
Streamlined Monocoque Frame: The one-piece chassis construction eliminates power loss and simplifies track-side assembly, making it a favorite for both speed and durability.
Premium Rolling Stock: Includes stylish wheels paired with low-profile tires to maintain that high-end racing aesthetic and consistent cornering grip.
