The GoPro Monster Sport Super Swift earned six back-to-back wins at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Built from Suzuki Swift roots and tuned by Monster Sport, the race car used a 1.9-liter engine exceeding 400hp and benefited from aerodynamic refinement. Tamiya faithfully reproduces that competition car in 1/10 scale and pairs it with the M-05 chassis for authentic proportions and handling cues.
The M-05 chassis gives this model a compact, front-wheel-drive architecture that is easy to tune. Its lightweight semi-monocoque frame keeps the center of gravity low, while the fully independent double wishbone suspension promotes controlled cornering on paved circuits.
The M-05's rear mount options allow selection of 210mm, 225mm, or 239mm wheelbases, making it compatible with many Tamiya bodies and permitting setup changes that alter balance and steering feel.
As part of the XB series this car ships assembled and radio-equipped for immediate driving. It still uses the same spare parts and Hop-Up options as the kit form, so owners can repair or upgrade components as they wish.
The Tamiya 57868 RC XB RTR GoPro Monster Sport Super Swift makes a reliable, ready-to-run entry for those interested in realistic on-road models with sensible upgrade paths for handling and electronics.
