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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
