Super FM Chassis

The Super-FM Chassis (Japanese: スーパーFMシャーシ, Sūpā Efuemu Shāshi) is a Mini 4WD Chassis released by Tamiya in June 1996. It debuted with the release of Brocken Gigant. It is the Super series chassis version of the FM Chassis.

General info[]

Like the Super-1 Chassis, the gear box is now attached to the motor case instead of the main chassis, and the front bumper is similar to that of Super-1 Chassis'. The Super-FM Chassis now comes with the previously optional rear stay, the first chassis to do so.

However, the changes to the chassis is somewhat minor and as a result it shares many weaknesses with the FM Chassis. The propeller shaft and crown gears were unchanged for the new chassis, resulting in power loss. As a result, the chassis performs no better than its predecessor.

It was later superseded by the FM-A Chassis.
