One of the more popular Mini 4WD models at the track is the Tamiya Mach Frame. Starting on the FM-A chassis, the Mach Frame was chosen as a MERIT AWARD winner in Japan’s 2018 Mini 4WD body design competition.
The appeal to this body set is its low CoG, or Center of Gravity, helping to give the car a very low profile. It also looks quite cool and, well, it just works!
Since the release of the original, there have been a couple of other variations of this body set – let’s take a quick look at each release.
