FM Reinforced Chassis Red summary

The Tamiya 94840 FM Reinforced Chassis Red is a solid upgrade for Mini 4WD builders wanting extra durability and a bold look. Molded in a vivid red, this reinforced FM chassis balances visual appeal with added strength for frequent track use.

Design and handling benefits

This FM chassis uses a forward motor layout to shift mass toward the front, helping with straight line stability and predictable handling on a variety of circuit types. The reinforced sections help resist stress during competitive running.

Tuning and upgrade options

The chassis accepts standard 130 single-shaft motors and supports common tuning moves like tyre swaps, gear ratio changes, and careful weight placement. These adjustments let you tailor performance to a technical or high speed track.

Assembly and finishing

Assembly is beginner friendly thanks to snap-fit components that reduce build time. Painting is optional since the red moulding already provides a striking finish that pairs well with many body shells.

The forward motor position shifts weight toward the front axle, improving straight line stability and steering response. It can reduce rear traction on tight corners, so adjust tyre choice and ballast to compensate.
This chassis is compatible with standard 130 single-shaft motors and common Mini 4WD parts such as bearings, gears and wheels designed for FM layouts. Check part dimensions when mixing components.
Start with medium compound tyres for a balance of grip and speed. Swap to harder compounds for high speed straights or softer tyres for more corner traction depending on the track surface.
Painting is optional. The red moulded chassis looks good out of the box and saves prep time, but some builders prefer painting for a custom finish or to protect visible parts.
