Tamiya JR Raizzan (ME Chassis) 18663 (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Mini 4WD cars are moving yet realistic car models in 1/32 scale. Designer Kota Nezu has an affinity for this Tamiya value and has pursued Mini 4WD car designs which are suitable not only for Mini 4WD but also for full size cars. His first Mini 4WD car design was the Astralster in 2013, followed by the Raikiri and Eleglitter. Now, Tamiya welcomes the 4WD car penned by his hand; this time, the Raizzan which features a monocoque frame and removable body panels inspired by high-end sports cars. The low and wide body provides superior aerodynamics via air intakes and outlets. Its sharp headlights draw inspiration from birds of prey such as the peregrine falcon and the eagle, and the car should catch the eye with its sharp design cues around front and rear lights, and fenders which look like a bird with spread wings. The Raizzan name is inspired by a legendary sword that appears in Japanese mythology. This kit features a design motif which would make a superb full-size car and opens the door to endless possibilities for Mini 4WD.
