Tamiya 58555 1/12 Mazda 787B Retro Racing Kit  [58555]

Track-Ready Replica: Tamiya 58555 Mazda 787B

The Tamiya 58555 puts the iconic Mazda 787B into a 1/12 scale RC format, blending authentic silhouette with practical racing hardware. Using the RM-01 chassis, it employs a Direct Drive 2WD system and Pivot Ball Link Rear (PBLR) suspension to reproduce real on-road dynamics.

Chassis Layout and Handling Traits

The RM-01 chassis prioritises compactness and predictable handling. The Direct Drive 2WD provides linear power delivery while the PBLR setup improves rear grip and stability when pushing into corners on smooth surfaces.

Body Detail and Finishing Choices

The clear polycarbonate body captures the 787B contours and is supplied ready for painting. The kit includes slick foam tyres and a solid axle drivetrain that suit scale presentation and on-track performance alike.

Practical Build Notes

Builders should supply their own radio set, servo, receiver and a 3.2V battery. The model offers adjustable ride height and gear ratios so you can tune handling and top speed for specific tracks or personal driving preference.

For hobbyists after a compact historic racer that still responds to setup changes, the Tamiya 58555 Mazda 787B delivers both faithful looks and approachable tuning.
