1/32 JR Mini 4WD Rowdy Bull (FM-A Chassis)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Original FM-A Powerhouse! At Hobby Hideaway, we have a soft spot for the kit that started it all. The Rowdy Bull holds the prestigious honor of being the very first model released on the cutting-edge FM-A chassis. Recreating a powerful, fictitious American muscle car style, this machine looks broad-shouldered and aggressive. It’s a perfect choice for racers who want a "heavy-hitter" look combined with the high-performance agility of a front-motor setup.

Aerodynamic Innovation: The FM-A Chassis The FM-A (Front Midship Aero) Chassis is the refined successor to the classic FM and Super-FM platforms, joining the modern Mini 4WD REV series. By placing the motor in the front, the center of gravity is shifted forward, allowing the Rowdy Bull to stay remarkably level and stable on undulating circuits with frequent jumps. This chassis isn't just about balance; it’s designed with integrated aerodynamics to slice through the air and keep your lap times consistent.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Muscle Car Styling: A bold, fictitious race car body inspired by classic American muscle, molded for a wide and stable presence.

• Front-Motor Advantage: The FM-A chassis provides superior stability on tracks with "humps" and elevation changes by keeping the weight over the front wheels.

• Race-Ready Stability: Comes standard with a front skid bar to prevent nose-diving and four rollers, including 8mm thick rear rollers for rock-solid cornering.

• Easy Maintenance: The chassis design allows for quick motor access from the underside, making gear checks and motor swaps effortless during a busy race day.

   

• High-Speed Gearing: Includes a Type 130 motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio, providing the explosive speed needed for both short sprints and long technical layouts.

   

• Standard Fit: Measures 156mm long and 97mm wide, making it a legal and competitive entry for official races.
