Scale M3 Sport Evo tailored for drift practice

The Tamiya 57800 BMW M3 Sport Evo recreates the E30 racing coupe in 1/10 form, delivering an accurate body and wheel-arch detail on a chassis set up for sliding. The transparent polycarbonate shell preserves the car's race-ready appearance while allowing custom paint and trim work.

Drift-capable TT-01ED underpinnings

The TT-01ED features reinforced nylon components to improve chassis stiffness and predictability when initiating drifts. Fitted Super Driftec tyres provide consistent slide behaviour, and the four-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA Super Mini oil dampers and short springs yields responsive steering and rebound control. Ball bearings help the drivetrain run efficiently and the RS540 Sport-Tuned Motor is fitted with an aluminium heatsink to manage temperatures.

Realism meets practical performance

LED headlights enhance the model's realistic presentation, and the shaft-driven full-time 4WD setup with a longitudinal motor layout ensures balanced traction. The included ESC with forward and reverse makes it easy to practice parking lot or circuit drift lines, suitable for hobbyists exploring setup changes.

With its period-correct styling and drift-optimised TT-01ED layout, the Tamiya 57800 BMW M3 Sport Evo is well suited to modders and drivers wanting a tunable sliding platform.

Yes, the drivetrain accepts common 1/10 brushless setups, but verify pinion and spur gear compatibility when changing power to maintain correct mesh.
Softer springs, low-friction tyre patches or specialised indoor drift tyres, and modest power delivery tuning on the ESC will improve slow-speed control.
Use reinforced mounting posts, apply clear protective film to high-wear areas, and avoid hard impacts to keep the polycarbonate shell in good condition.
There is a wide range of Tamiya and third-party tuning components such as uprated dampers, alloy parts and alternative tyre choices to tailor handling.
