Get Consistent Slides with the Tamiya 58388 RX-7
For enthusiasts who enjoy dialing in slides, the Tamiya 58388 RC Mazda RX-7 Drift Spec combines iconic RX-7 styling with a chassis tuned for repeatable drift control. The kit reflects FD3S lines while offering accessible setup paths on the TT-01D platform.
Why the TT-01D Works for Drifting
The TT-01D is designed for straightforward builds and dependable handling. Its 4WD shaft drive improves traction and steadiness, while the bathtub frame resists unwanted flex. With coil spring-damped, independent double wishbone suspension and sealed differentials, it supports consistent drift angles and balance.
Body and Tuning Highlights
The durable polycarbonate shell recreates the RX-7 profile and accepts polycarbonate sprays for personalised liveries. Drift-oriented components include sport-tuned motor elements, an aluminum heat sink, CVA mini shocks and shorter springs to sharpen response in corners.
Drift Hardware and Lighting
Silver narrow mesh wheels fitted with 26mm Drift Tire Type D use a resin-rubber blend tuned for long slides. The included type 540 motor and ESC give smooth throttle control, and the LED head and tail lights light up with power on. For advanced control, add the TLU-02 Light Control Unit (ITEM 53937).
Tuning and Upgrades
There is a wide selection of aftermarket tune-up parts available separately to fine tune steering, traction, and overall drift behaviour to match your preferred surface and driving approach.
