Manga Artists x Mini 4WD - Part 2
The second Mini 4WD design from
Japanese manga artists Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi,
who are well-known for their robot manga series "Linebarrels
of Iron (Kurogane no Rainbareru),"
is the Slash Reaper. Intended as the rival vehicle for the Rising
Edge,
this new machine features an aggressive Gun Metal and Orange
livery. The design of the car was also inspired by a sickle and
openings on the body serve to both reduce weight and increase
motor cooling. This body shell can be mounted on the MS chassis
and the Super-II chassis in addition to the VS chassis that is
included in the kit. This VS chassis comes with eye-catching red
wheels with large-diameter tires. It also features a 4.2:1 gear
ratio and 16mm plastic rollers with rubber rings. To top it off,
the package is adorned with illustrations by Eiichi Shimizu and
Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
