Tamiya 58698-60A - 1/10 Lotus Europa Special M-06 Scale RC Kit (no ESC) - Retro Inspired  [58698-60A]

Classic Lines Meet Modern Chassis: Tamiya 58698-60A

The Tamiya 58698-60A faithfully captures the Lotus Europa Special from 1972, reproducing its compact, mid-engined silhouette in a lightweight polycarbonate body. The kit is designed for accurate scale appearance while keeping assembly straightforward for experienced hobbyists.

M-06 Chassis: Rear-Wheel Balance and Control

Built on the M-06 platform, this model sets the motor at the rear to drive the back wheels, with the battery mounted lengthwise to improve balance. The double wishbone layout is paired with 60D radial tyres at the front and super grip tyres at the rear for consistent cornering and traction.

Scale Authenticity and Finish Options

Finishing touches include separate fittings for mirrors, lamp housings and the signature rear wing, plus a decal set reproducing the gold pinstripe trim. The polycarbonate shell accepts hobby paints for a period-correct finish.

Designed for Modding and Upgrades

The Europa Special supports a range of Hop-Up Option parts so builders can alter gearing, damping or durability. It is a flexible platform for those who enjoy tuning and personalising their RC cars.

Tamiya 58698-60A delivers a compact, period-correct Lotus Europa Special on an agile M-06 chassis, a rewarding project for collectors and tinkerers alike.
