Tamiya 46607C Schnitzer BMW M3 1/10 XBS RTR Classic Replica  [46607C]

Racing Roots Behind the Miniature M3

The BMW M3 made its mark in touring car competition, highlighted by Schnitzer Motorsport's success in the 1987 World Touring Car Championships. Driven by Roberto Ravaglia, the race car's 2.5-liter unit produced roughly 340ps and clinched the Drivers' title. Tamiya reproduces that legacy in the 46607C 1/10 scale model for collectors and track drivers.

Features of the XBS Base

The XBS chassis is a refined take on the TT-01 Type-E, offering predictable balance for road use. Its 4WD shaft-drive system helps maintain grip through corners, and the independent double wishbone suspension with oil dampers smooths out surface imperfections. The polycarbonate body keeps weight down while reflecting the original coupe silhouette.

Powertrain Notes and Tuning Pointers

Equipped with a 540-brushed motor and the TEU-104BK ESC, the car provides steady acceleration for club runs. The included 2-channel AM Adspec GP transmitter is straightforward to operate. Adjustments like ground clearance and gearing let you tailor performance for different asphalt or smooth concrete venues.

The Tamiya 46607C RC 1/10 XBS Schnitzer BMW M3 is a versatile on-road model that fits both newcomers wanting an easy start and hobbyists seeking a period-correct racer.
