Scaled Mazda RX-7 with Realistic Proportions

The RX-7s reputation for a compact, lightweight chassis and rotary power is faithfully echoed in Tamiya's 1/10 rendition on the M-06 platform. The Tamiya 58493 kit brings an authentic silhouette together with a chassis built for tunable handling.

M-06 Setup and Road Feel

The rear-wheel-drive M-06 chassis provides a driving balance close to the original car. Its 235mm wheelbase gives a steady footprint while the double wishbone suspension supports accurate steering inputs and cornering stability.

Realistic Shell and Trim Details

The polycarbonate body captures the RX-7s curves and creases with good fidelity, backed by a complete decal set for finishing touches. Early production units include matt gold-plated wheels for a distinctive factory look.

Tuning Paths and Battery Compatibility

Included plastic bushings can be replaced with ball bearings to cut drivetrain losses, a common upgrade for faster lap times. The battery tray fits NiCd, NiMH, LiPo and LiFe cells so you can match weight and power to your setup.
