Tamiya 58493 1/10 Mazda RX-7 Touring Kit M-06  [58493]

Faithful RX-7 Replica Built for Scale Driving

The Mazda RX-7 has long been admired for its rotary engine and sleek proportions, and Tamiya captures that character in 1/10 scale on the M-06 chassis. The Tamiya 58493 assembly brings together period styling and a chassis that rewards setup work.

M-06 Handling Characteristics

The M-06 is configured as rear-wheel drive to mirror the road car's dynamics. With a 235mm wheelbase and double wishbone suspension, the chassis offers a balanced, predictable feel that suits both circuit running and relaxed street-style cruising.

Accurate Bodywork and Trim Options

The polycarbonate shell reproduces the RX-7s contours with clean lines, and the included decal sheet helps achieve the correct look. The first-run kits ship with matt gold-plated wheels, providing an eye-catching period detail.

Performance Tweaks and Battery Fitment

While the kit includes plastic bushings, swapping to ball bearings is a common upgrade for reduced friction. The battery compartment accommodates NiCd, NiMH, LiPo and LiFe formats, giving flexibility for different run-time and weight preferences.

Tamiya 58493 delivers a compact, authentic RX-7 model on a chassis that is ready to be set up for club events or display. It suits hobbyists who enjoy both building and tuning.
