Tamiya 95163 K4 Gambol Silver Metallic - Overview

The Tamiya 95163 K4 Gambol Silver Metallic blends a race-ready look with approachable performance for club and home track use. Built on the FM-A chassis, it balances styling and practical engineering for Mini 4WD racers who like to tune their machines.

Rally-Inspired Exterior

The body takes cues from high-performance rally cars, with a silver metallic finish that highlights its lines. The sculpted profile reduces aerodynamic drag and gives a distinctive race-oriented appearance on the track.

FM-A Chassis Benefits

The FM-A (Front Midship Aero) layout places the motor forward for improved weight bias. This configuration helps stability through fast sections and delivers predictable handling on winding circuits where balance matters most.

Tuning and Upgrade Paths

Owners can explore a wide range of upgrades, from higher torque motors and track-specific tyres to modified gearing. Adding selective weights or small dampers will refine cornering and overall balance for different course setups.

Simple Snap-Fit Assembly

The kit uses screw and snap-fit components to keep assembly straightforward with no glue required. This makes the model accessible to newer builders while still offering room for advanced setup work.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: FM-A
  • Body Style: Rally Car Inspired
  • Motor Compatibility: Standard 130 Single-Shaft Motors
  • Customization Potential: High with Various Upgrades

The Tamiya 95163 K4 Gambol Silver Metallic is a versatile Mini 4WD kit that suits racers who want a striking body and a tunable FM-A chassis platform for competitive or hobby use.

Assembly time varies with experience, but the snap-fit design typically lets a modestly experienced builder finish in an hour or two. Allow more time for painting or detailed tuning.
Standard 130 single-shaft motors are compatible. For improved acceleration or top speed, select high-torque or high-rpm 130 variants depending on gear ratio and track demands.
Soft compound tyres with good traction are preferred for indoor circuits. Match tyre width to the course and test different compounds to find the best grip without excessive drag.
Yes, small strategically placed weights can lower the center of gravity and improve cornering. Start with light additions and test incrementally to avoid overloading the chassis.
