Legacy of the Castrol Mugen NSX

The Tamiya 58233 RC Castrol Mugen NSX captures the spirit of the NSX that competed in Japanese GT series. The race-prepared NSX combined lightweight elements and aerodynamic upgrades, and this scale version reproduces key visual and performance cues for the hobbyist.

Authentic Race Aero and Colours

The full-size car used refined front aerodynamics and a substantial rear wing to improve grip at speed. Tamiya mirrors these aspects on the polycarbonate body and replicates the signature white, green and fluorescent red Castrol livery for a convincing track appearance.

Handling, Chassis and Motor

Built on the TL-01 chassis, the model features four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension for balanced handling. The supplied 540 Type Motor provides steady, manageable power and leaves room for later upgrades suited to competitive running.

The Tamiya 58233 Castrol Mugen NSX is a faithful kit that pairs period-correct styling with a practical chassis, ideal for model collectors and on-road enthusiasts.

Many builders convert to compact LiPo packs and matched ESCs, but check the chassis space and ensure correct wiring and safety measures when upgrading.
Regularly inspect suspension pins, wheel nuts and drivetrain items, and clean bearings to keep handling crisp and avoid wear-related issues.
The included 540 Type Motor is suitable for casual club running; competitive racers often upgrade to higher KV brushless motors for more top speed and acceleration.
