Heritage of the Castrol Mugen NSX

The Tamiya 58233 RC Castrol Mugen NSX reflects the race car legacy from Japan's GT events. The Mugen-tuned NSX stood out for its lightweight components and aerodynamic add-ons, and this scale kit brings those elements into the RC garage for scale-minded drivers.

Race-Focused Bodywork and Paint

Key features like front winglets, bumper extensions and a multi-element rear wing gave the full-size car balance at speed. The Tamiya body reproduces these cues and carries the iconic white, green and fluorescent red Castrol scheme to replicate the track look.

Driving Feel and Powertrain

Mounted on the TL-01 chassis, the model uses independent double wishbones at each corner for consistent handling. The supplied 540 Type Motor gives predictable acceleration and leaves room for those who later want to swap in higher-performance motors.
