The name "Raikiri" comes from a mythical sword which was said to be able to cut through lightning, and this machine promises to provide speedy performance which lives up to the name. Like its Mini 4WD PRO predecessor Astralster (Item 18634), the body is the concept of Japanese designer Kota Nezu. The MA Chassis which is the platform underneath is a one-piece unit with advanced aerodynamics and air intakes to cool the inner workings of the machine.
