Tamiya 95209 Flame Astute Red Metallic Special AR Mini 4WD Kit - Track Ready  [95209]

Overview of the Flame Astute Red Metallic Special AR

The Tamiya 95209 Flame Astute Red Metallic Special pairs streamlined bodywork with the AR chassis to deliver a compact, race-oriented Mini 4WD. This kit balances visual flair and practical upgrade paths for club racers and hobbyists.

Visuals and Paintwork Details

The special edition sports a matte red metallic coat that extends across the shell and wheel rims, creating a unified look. Accents in red, white and blue decals plus metallic logo badges give the car a circuit-ready appearance while still looking great on display.

AR Chassis Design and Build

The AR platform is molded from tough black ABS and focuses on airflow management to reduce drag. The matching black under panel and diffuser help maintain a clean profile and support stable handling at speed.

Options for Performance Upgrades

Racers can fit higher torque or higher RPM motors, select tires suited to your track surface, and swap in precision gears. The stock 3.5:1 gear ratio is a good baseline and can be changed to match different race strategies.

Assembly and Finishing Notes

The kit snaps together with minimal tools required, making it approachable for newcomers. Parts come in base colors, so painting is optional if you want to keep a factory look or add your own custom livery.

The Tamiya 95209 Flame Astute Red Metallic Special offers a strong starting point for tuners who want a race-capable Mini 4WD with a bold finish and clear upgrade routes.
