The Tamiya Abilista (Item 18639) is a 1/32 scale Mini 4WD race car assembly kit that features a stylish super sports car-inspired body and utilizes the aerodynamically optimized MA (Midship Aero) chassis.
Chassis and Performance
- MA Chassis: This chassis is known for its high-performance aerodynamic design and single-piece monocoque frame, making it easy to assemble and maintain for both beginners and veterans.
- Midship Motor Layout: The motor and batteries are positioned in the center of the chassis, which ensures optimum weight distribution, a low center of gravity, and superb stability during high-speed racing.
- Motor and Drive: The kit includes a double-shaft motor that efficiently transmits power to all four wheels (4WD system). The motor can be accessed from the underside for easy swaps.
- Stability: It includes six low-friction rollers, a rear skid bar, and side stays, all designed to guide the car smoothly around track curves and prevent it from derailing.
Body Design and Aesthetics
- Design: The body is based on a sleek, two-door coupe with a "long-nose, short-deck" style. It features a teardrop nose, large front and rear fenders, and a substantial rear wing, all designed to manage airflow efficiently.
- Color Scheme: The standard kit body is molded in white, complemented by blue tones and gold trim metallic stickers for headlights, windows, and taillights.
- Wheels and Tires: It comes equipped with white dish-type wheels and black low-profile slick tires, which are 26mm in diameter.
