The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: An Award-Winning Beast on the Track! At Hobby Hideaway, we have a soft spot for kits that look like they could drive through a wall. The Razorback is a powerhouse design that won the Tamiya Mini 4WD Design Contest, and it’s easy to see why. With its muscular, "razor-backed" spine and aggressive stance, it looks more like a high-tech off-road predator than a standard racer. If you want a car that stands out for its tough, industrial look, this is the one.
Front-Motor Power on the FM-A Chassis The Razorback is perfectly paired with the FM-A (Front Motor Aero) Chassis. Because the motor is in the front, the weight is concentrated over the leading wheels, which is a massive advantage at our Orléans track. It helps the car stay level during jumps and provides a stable landing every time—essential for a kit that looks this rugged.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Award-Winning Body: A futuristic, muscular body design molded in Gun Metal ABS plastic, featuring a distinctive fin that runs down the spine.
Aggressive Rolling Stock: Includes dark silver 6-spoke wheels paired with black low-profile tires for a mean, low-to-the-ground look.
Front-Motor Stability: The FM-A chassis is designed for stability on technical tracks, featuring an aerodynamic underside and a center of gravity shifted toward the front.
Pro-Level Efficiency: Includes low-friction POM 620 plastic bearings and a high-speed 3.5:1 gear ratio.
Technical Specs: Length: 156mm, Width: 97mm. Includes a Type 130 motor.
