Scale Tribute and Racing Roots of the Tamiya 58581

The Tamiya 58581 RC GoPro Monster Sport Super Swift reproduces the Suzuki Swift that earned multiple wins at Pikes Peak. The scale model reflects the aggressive styling and race-focused traits of the Monster Sport car, known in full size for a 400hp engine and tuned aerodynamics. Built on the compact M-05 chassis, this 1/10 kit is aimed at modellers who enjoy close-control on-road driving.

What the M-05 Brings to the Table

Favoured for its clean design and tuning potential, the M-05 is a front-wheel-drive platform that delivers direct steering feel and predictable balance. Its semi-monocoque framework lowers mass where it matters, and the fully independent double wishbone suspension plus the 3-piece steering linkage helps the car hold lines through corners.

Wheelbase Options for Tailored Handling

The wheelbase on the Tamiya 58581 can be set to 210mm, 225mm or 239mm, giving builders the freedom to match different body shells and handling preferences. This simple adjustment lets you experiment with oversteer and stability trade-offs without extensive modification.

Tamiya 58581 gives a strong mix of historic racing character and a tunable M-05 foundation, making it suitable for hobbyists who enjoy setup work and on-road accuracy.

The polycarbonate body arrives unpainted; you will need masking film and paints suitable for lexan bodies to finish the shell and achieve crisp panel lines.
FWD tends to understeer at the limit but is easy to modulate; adjusting toe and camber plus tyre choice will let you tune turn-in and mid-corner balance.
Regular checks include cleaning dust from gear mesh, inspecting dog bones and bushings, and reapplying grease to gears to ensure smooth drivetrain performance.
The kit comes with a 540-brushed motor, but many builders upgrade to compact brushless units where space allows for improved torque and efficiency.
Yes, rubber tyres and compatible rims for the M-05 are widely available, letting you choose compounds and offsets for different track surfaces.
