[18640] Raikiri by Znug Design (MA Chassis)

[Raikiri, a machine design inspired by a legendary sword]

Raikiri is the second mini 4WD created by car designer Kota Nezu (CEO of znug design).

Raikiri is the name of a legendary Japanese sword that is said to have cut through lightning.

The sharp body, inspired by the flowing movement of a sword, has a design that exudes the mood of a real car.

The three-dimensional wheels and the body color, mainly black, are also bold.

The sharp-looking front mask and rear end form are carefully designed to give the car a unique presence.

The pink lines, headlights, and taillights that make the black body even more striking are available as stickers.

Nezu Kota (Designer / Creative Communicator) After working as a designer at Toyota Motor Corporation, he founded znug design in 2005.

He is involved in the concept planning and design of automobiles and other industrial products, and has received numerous awards, including the Good Design Award and the German iF Award.

He works with the belief that he wants to "connect" people involved in manufacturing. 

[MA chassis for efficient driving]

MA is a midship AERO (midship aero).

The "MS chassis" has a midship layout with a double shaft motor mounted in the center of the body, and the "AR chassis" is designed with particular attention to airflow (aero) while driving.

The "MA chassis" combines the excellent features of each into one chassis.

Of course, by utilizing the racing know-how accumulated so far, the driving performance has been thoroughly refined by adopting a 3.5:1 gear ratio, equipping six low-friction resin rollers and a rear skid bar as standard equipment.

In addition, the adoption of an integrated monocoque structure has further improved ease of assembly and maintenance, making it a chassis that can be used by a wide range of racers from beginners to veteran racers, and from street corner races on small courses to official competitions on large special 5-lane circuits.

[MS Chassis]

The 3-part "MS Chassis" achieves excellent rigidity, and the "Midship (MS) Layout" with heavy parts such as the double shaft motor and the battery in the center of the chassis and the Mini 4WD.

The traditional 4WD (four-wheel drive) mechanism provides excellent stability even at high speeds.

The chassis consists of three parts: nose, center, and tail, and can be attached and detached with a single touch.
