Suzuki Swift Super 1600 story for RC fans

The Tamiya 58368 Suzuki Swift Super 1600 commemorates the compact rally car that raced in the 2005 Junior World Rally Championship and scored competitive results. This scale kit brings that rally character to a user-friendly 1/10 platform.

Layout and handling from the M03M chassis

The M03M chassis uses a 225mm wheelbase placed centrally to help neutral handling. Power comes from a front-mounted 540 type motor driving the front wheels, and the independent double-wishbone suspension paired with friction dampers helps keep the car composed under cornering loads.

Practical components and upgrade paths

The polycarbonate shell reproduces the Super 1600 silhouette, while lightweight uprights and eight 1050 ball bearings improve responsiveness. Treaded rubber tyres with inner sponge are fitted for balance between grip and durability, and the mid-ship battery position aids consistent handling.

The Tamiya 58368 Suzuki Swift Super 1600 is a versatile kit for builders who enjoy setup work and scale detail. It makes a solid base for light upgrades and track tuning.

What should I budget for extra electronics?

Plan for an ESC, a compatible 2.4 GHz transmitter and receiver, and a steering servo; prices vary by brand but essential items are widely available for the 540 motor class.

Are the tyres suitable for club tracks?

The treaded rubber tyres with sponge inserts perform well on outdoor asphalt and indoor concrete; for race circuits you may prefer specialised compound tyres.

Can the battery layout be altered?

The kit is optimised for a mid-ship battery for balance; while minor repositioning is possible, it may affect handling and require setup changes.

Is tuning the M03M chassis complex?

Basic tuning is approachable: adjusting tyre pressure, weight distribution and shock friction gives noticeable differences without advanced tools.

What routine checks does this model need?

Regularly inspect bearings, suspension linkages and the motor mount, and clean the drivetrain to keep performance consistent.
