Mini 4WD PRO Series No.63

RAIZZAN (ME CHASSIS)

Length: 156 mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

This assembly kit creates a brand new Mini 4WD model called the Raizzan. The work of Kota Nezu (the designer behind the Raikiri and Astralster), its body is wide and low and draws inspiration from birds of prey such as the peregrine falcon and the eagle, and its body panels are attached to a monocoque much like full-size high end sports cars. You can even leave off the rear body panel to make it into an open top car should you desire. The model is based upon the new ME chassis, and features eye-catching T-spoke wheels with small diameter low-profile tires.

ME Chassis
The ME is the third double shaft motor chassis after the MS and MA, and its initials are derived from its "Midship Evolution" concept. Lightweight, flexible and easy to get started with, its outstanding combination of rigidity and flex ensures a fluid drive, while the ease of assembly is very much in the vein of the MA chassis. The chassis and its A parts are molded in lightweight, tough ABS resin, and low-friction plastic bearings ensure efficient drive. Its bumpers are separately molded, and the chassis has a speedy 3.5:1 gear ratio.
