Tamiya 18716 Geo Glider FM-A Mini 4WD Kit  [18716]

Geo Glider Overview: Jet-Inspired Mini 4WD Design

The Geo Glider stands out in the Mini 4WD lineup for its fighter jet styling and race-minded silhouette. This model was recognised with the TAMIYA AWARD in the 2018 Mini 4WD Design Contest for its distinctive body and competitive potential.

Design Details and Visual Impact

The shell features a streamlined profile with an X-shaped top cowl finished in pearl white that accentuates airflow lines. Complementing the body are purple large-diameter V-spoke wheels and arched tires that create a cohesive, race-ready appearance.

FM-A Chassis Layout and Balance

Built on the FM-A chassis, the Geo Glider uses a front motor orientation to improve weight balance for high-speed runs. The chassis arrives in an olive gray tone that gives the car a modern look while supporting stable handling across typical track sections.

Tuning and Race Upgrades

Enthusiasts can tune the Geo Glider with upgraded motors, alternative tyre compounds, and precision gear sets to match specific track formats. The FM-A platform accepts common Mini 4WD modifications to refine cornering and straight-line speed.

The Tamiya Geo Glider is a solid choice for hobbyists who want striking styling paired with a chassis that supports serious tuning for club and local track racing.
