Lotus Europa Special by Tamiya 58698-60A - Retro 1/10 Kit

The Tamiya 58698-60A captures the compact styling of the 1972 Lotus Europa Special in a lightweight polycarbonate body. The kit reproduces the low-slung profile and rear wing so modellers can build an authentic period piece with modern RC hardware.

M-06 Rear-Wheel Setup for Precise Control

Underneath sits the M-06 chassis, laid out for a rear-mounted motor and rear-wheel drive. The longitudinal battery mount helps centralise mass while the double wishbone suspension paired with 60D radial fronts and super grip rear tyres gives a predictable, planted feel.

Period Correct Details and Decals

Small scale parts such as mirror assemblies, lamp housings and the distinct spoiler are supplied separately for accurate assembly. The decal sheet recreates the characteristic gold striping for an authentic look once painted.

Options for Tuning and Hop-Up Parts

Builders can fit Hop-Up Option parts to alter gearing, damping and drivetrain robustness. The kit suits those who enjoy both cosmetic detailing and mechanical tuning.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis Type: M-06
  • Drive Type: Rear-Wheel Drive
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • Motor: 540-type brushed
  • Electronic Speed Control (ESC): Not Included

The Tamiya Lotus Europa Special 58698-60A blends classic styling with an M-06 chassis that is easy to tune, making it a solid choice for painters, tuners and collectors.

Use polycarbonate-safe paints and light coats. Mask carefully for stripes and details; allow drying time between coats to avoid runs.
Choose an ESC compatible with a 540-type brushed motor and a 7.2-7.4V battery pack. Match the ESC to your driving style for smooth throttle control.
The M-06 chassis performs best on smooth surfaces and track conditions where the tyre compounds can provide consistent grip; it is less suited to rough terrain.
