Tamiya 46607C 1/10 XBS Schnitzer BMW M3 RTR Track Styled Model  [46607C]

From Circuit History to Scale Model

The BMW M3 became a touring car icon, notably through Schnitzer Motorsport's efforts in the 1987 World Touring Car Championships. With Roberto Ravaglia at the wheel, the M3's 2.5-liter engine produced roughly 340ps and helped secure the Drivers' Championship. Tamiya recreates that period racing car as the 46607C in detailed 1/10 scale.

Chassis Design and Road Behaviour

Built around the XBS chassis, a developed form of the TT-01 Type-E, this model focuses on stable on-road behaviour. Its shaft-driven 4WD system promotes even power distribution, while the fully independent double wishbone suspension with oil-filled dampers supports predictable cornering. The polycarbonate body mirrors the original M3 silhouette while staying lightweight.

Electronics Fitment and Tuning Notes

The package includes a 540-brushed motor and the TEU-104BK ESC for straightforward throttle control, along with a 2-channel AM Adspec GP transmitter. For better lap times or a different balance, consider tuning ride height and gear ratio to match your preferred circuits.

The Tamiya 46607C RC 1/10 XBS Schnitzer BMW M3 is a practical choice for on-road enthusiasts seeking a ready-to-run classic with scope for setup tweaks and upgrades.
