[18715] Copperfang (FM-A Chassis)

[A prize-winning work that boldly incorporates the design of a snake baring its fangs]

This is a plastic model assembly kit of a high-performance racer that uses a shaft-driven four-wheel drive.

Copper Fang is a machine that won the prize for excellence in the "Mini 4WD Design Contest 2018".

The styling with a classic sports car and snake motif is attractive.

The metallic orange ABS resin body has a powerful finish that incorporates the head of a snake with its mouth wide open into the design.

Pay attention to the snake image incorporated into each part, such as the headlights that resemble fangs and the panel lines that resemble scales.

In addition, the lines on the body side that make the body look sharp, the headlights, logo, etc. are expressed with metallic stickers.

[Uses FM-A chassis with front motor layout]

The chassis uses FM-A with a front motor layout that incorporates an aerodynamic design.

Since the center of gravity is closer to the front of the body, it is possible to run with a sense of stability even on courses with many ups and downs.

In addition to the skid bar made of low-friction resin that is standard equipment on the lower front, the four rollers are also made of low-friction resin.

In particular, the rear roller is 8 mm thick for increased stability.

In addition, the motor can be easily replaced from the bottom of the chassis, making setting changes quick and easy.

Various parts can be attached to the aero side stays, which were inspired by the cross-sectional shape of an airplane wing.

The chassis body is made of black ABS resin, and the A parts such as the underpanel and skid bar are made of black low-friction resin.

In addition, the silver-plated A-spoke wheels are equipped with small-diameter super hard low-height tires.

The gear ratio is set to 3.5:1.
