[Product introduction]
TAMIYA 1/32 Mini 4WD Elegritta (VZ chassis).
[Near-future style that expands the possibilities of mini 4WD]
This is a plastic model assembly kit of a high-performance racer that uses shaft drive 4WD. Eleglitter is a machine designed by Kota Nezu, who worked on ``Astral Star'' and ``Raikiri.'' The wide and low center of gravity form is inspired by a futuristic open-top formula racer, and it has an outstanding impact. In addition, the prominent front and rear fenders are removable, making it both lightweight and fun to change your style. A driver doll with a sci-fi vibe gets into the cockpit. The chassis uses VZ, which is lightweight and compact and suitable for actual battles, and is expected to be useful in races. Also of note is the small-diameter, low-height wheel, which is made up of two pieces: a 12-spoke body and a removable aero disc. The contrast between light blue and gray is pleasing to the eye, and the mechanical design is also attractive. You can completely change the look by removing the aero disc. From the silhouette to the undercarriage, everything about the electric glitter is a highlight. Futuristic machines will further accelerate the excitement of racing.
[VZ Chassis pursuing strength and expandability]
The VZ Chassis is a further refinement of the performance of the compact, lightweight, short wheelbase VS Chassis, which is popular in races. While maintaining the excellent features of the VS chassis such as small turning performance and high maintainability, the strength of the bumper, rear stay base, propeller shaft bearing, etc. has been increased. The key point is the appropriate amount of flex to absorb shock. In addition to the rear roller stay, the front bumper can also be separated. The degree of freedom in setting has also been greatly improved. The shaft bearing uses a 620 plastic bearing made of POM resin with low frictional resistance. A parts such as the chassis body and gear cover are both made of ABS resin. Gear ratio is set to 3.5:1.
