Tamiya 46607C 1/10 XBS Schnitzer BMW M3 RTR On-Road Favourite  [46607C]

Heritage of the M3 Recreated for Hobby Driving

The BMW M3 became iconic through touring car success, with Schnitzer Motorsport and driver Roberto Ravaglia taking honours in the 1987 World Touring Car Championships. The race car's 2.5-liter engine produced about 340ps, a figure that helped secure the Drivers' Championship. Tamiya channels that racing pedigree into the 46607C 1/10 replica for road-focused driving.

XBS Chassis Overview

This model sits on the XBS chassis, an upgraded TT-01 Type-E platform tuned for predictable handling. The 4WD shaft-drive keeps traction consistent while the fully independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers deliver controlled cornering. The polycarbonate body reproduces the M3 profile while remaining robust for hobby use.

Setup Advice and Running Gear

Fitted with a 540-brushed motor and TEU-104BK ESC, the car gives dependable power delivery suitable for club racing. Steering and throttle are managed via the included 2-channel AM Adspec GP transmitter. Adjusting ground clearance and final drive ratio are effective ways to refine lap times and response.

The Tamiya 46607C RC 1/10 XBS Schnitzer BMW M3 is a solid pick for on-road fans, offering a balanced RTR package with room for upgrades and tuning.
