The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Evolution of Midship Racing! At Hobby Hideaway, we are thrilled to introduce the TYXIV, another incredible showcase for the all-new ME (Midship Evolution) Chassis. Designed by the visionary team at PDC DesignWorks, the TYXIV brings an aggressive, futuristic aesthetic to the track. Its striking multi-piece cowl isn't just for show—it is a modular masterpiece that allows you to customize the aerodynamics and stance of your machine by running it with or without the front wheel arches. Whether you’re a fan of cutting-edge design or looking for the next evolution in Mini 4WD racing, this kit is a game-changer.
The All-New ME Chassis: Lightweight and Adaptable The ME Chassis is the third evolution of the double-shaft motor platform, following the MS and MA. Inspired by the words "Midship," "Evolution," "Easy," and "Enjoy," it combines the ease of assembly found in the MA chassis with a significant weight reduction. The chassis features an outstanding combination of rigidity and flex for a fluid drive, and unlike its predecessors, it comes with screw-attached, removable front and rear bumpers, making it incredibly easy to swap stays or tune your setup for the track.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Futuristic Design: Striking multi-piece body featuring a distinctive green cowl over a crisp white chassis, complete with removable front wheel arches.
Midship Evolution (ME) Chassis: A brand-new center-motor double-shaft layout for balanced power and high-speed stability.
Modular Versatility: Independent front and rear bumpers can be easily removed, making this the perfect base for custom B-MAX or Open Class builds.
Enhanced Drive Efficiency: Utilizes low-friction plastic A-parts to maximize rotation and minimize power loss.
High-Speed Gearing: Includes a double-shaft motor and a 3.5:1 gear ratio for explosive performance on the straightaways.
