Description So once again I'm back with yes another Mini 4wd car for one of my Cast of characters and this one is for my Gatomon Kale. However, This is a bit unusual as the Mini 4wd racers have 4 wheels. Not this one, This one has three wheels, A Dragster like body shape, and some of the strangest Tires I have ever seen on a Toy car. This is Mirage Wing, Kale's Racer for the Dangun Series Mini 4wd Variant

LOOKS:

Based on the mirage Arrow, The Mirage Wing is a High speed type Racer meant for competitive racing. Its sleek body shape allows for some incredible aerodynamics and it only consists of a few parts making it easy to maintain and customize. Its specialty is overtaking mini 4wd cars at fast speeds and it can go through banked curves with ease which is what it was built for so I'm a bit worried on how it will do on actual curves but Kale found a way through that issue thanks to a little bit of help and modifications to certain parts

PARTS:

BODY - The Body of the Mirage Wing is nothing new and its basically the same as every Mini 4wd Car Body however, This one does have a few things going for it. For one, The air vents on the top and sides of the car as well as a air scoop also on the top. There's also this strange engine looking portion on the sides that suggests its a fast racer but it does not do anything performance wise aside from looking cool. It is painted in Kale's choice of colours of White, Yellow, Purple and Light red

CHASSIS - Underneath the Mirage Wing is a whole different story. Its "Chassis" Consists of three parts mainly the Front unit which holds the Skid Wheel (And this is the part that Kale Modified). The Center Unit which holds the Battery and locks for both the Front and Back units. Some of these Center Units actually have Roller attachments on them but kale decided to leave those out and finally the Back Unit which holds the Motor, Gear and the Wheels and Fighting Tires which are only exclusive to this Variant. Also the front spoiler of the chassis has an extra purpose and that's to crash into other cars in hopes of knocking them off balance

MOTOR - While it may look like this thing uses a motor exclusive only to the Dangun Racers, In reality it can use any Mini 4wd Motor. Kale went with a High Speed version which makes sense cause this Racer was designed to Run, Overtake and Beat down the competition

GEAR - Now I was having a hard time figuring out where on earth the Gears of the Mirage Wing would be located and it turns out that its at the Back Unit together with the Motor. It is however intergrated to the unit itself so unless you have special tools you won't be getting into it anytime soon. Not for Kale though cause she has the Sun heroes to help her out and after some work, She replaced the standard gears with a more high speed capable Gear. Also there appears to be only one gear in this thing and that is providing power to the Fighting tires on the back

SKID WHEEL - Attached to the front unit is the skid wheel and this provides the stability on the front of the car through the corners. Now Kale actually gave this single part a modification that allows the skid wheel to turn and essentially give it the power to clear through Mini 4wd style corners which is a must because Kale will be using this Dragster a lot

WHEELS AND TIRES - The Wheels on this car are just your typical mini 4wd style wheels however what separates this from its 4 wheeled cousins are the Fighting Tires. These thing have one job and that's to prevent anyone from Overtaking from behind and from the side. Just one push from the side of this vehicle and those tires could make contact with the opponent. The Mirage Wing is equipped with hex claw fighting tires which should give some intimidation to the overall design. It is also rumoured that this car when not in Race mode can switch to more Mini 4wd style Wheels and Tires to give those Fighting Tires a break

OPTIONAL PARTS:

NOSE POLE

PROTECTION BAR

STABILIZING STAY AND ROLLER

ADDITIONAL FRONT, CENTER AND BACK UNIT SETS

Hope you like it
