Description
Geo Glider's body took the Tamiya Award — the contest's top honour — in the 2018 Design Contest, with a honed, fighter-jet-inspired silhouette and a distinctive X-shaped cowl over the cockpit area. The body is moulded in pearl-white ABS and can be finished with the included stickers for logos and other graphics. It runs the aero-side-stay FM-A chassis in olive-grey ABS with a black underpanel and other low-friction A parts, fitted with large-diameter purple V-spoke wheels and arched tires rather than the low-profile tires used on most of its siblings. Gearing is set at 4.2:1, matching Razorback's lower ratio for stronger acceleration.

- Chassis: FM-A (aero side stays), gear ratio 4.2:1
