The Tamiya 57901 Mazda Demio reproduces the compact Mazda2 profile in 1/10 scale and sits on the tried-and-tested M05 chassis. The result is a tidy, scale-accurate model that is easy to handle and looks at home whether on a short circuit or a display shelf.
The M05 chassis provides a front-wheel-drive layout that favours stability and simple, predictable steering. Its balanced weight distribution helps the model hold a line and respond to small setup changes without aggressive behaviour, ideal when learning corner entry and exit techniques.
This Mazda Demio body is faithful to the road car's compact proportions and is moulded in paint-ready polycarbonate. The lines translate well into a small-scale package, offering a realistic silhouette that is rewarding to paint and detail.
For sharp, short track performance try tightening the front roll damping and experiment with different tyre compounds. Small gear ratio changes can also tune acceleration versus top speed depending on the course layout.
The Tamiya 57901 Mazda Demio is a solid pick for hobbyists who want a realistic compact model with approachable handling and tuning potential. It makes a neat club car and a display piece for scale collectors.
