Scale model of the distinctive Toyota bB adapted for RC

When the Toyota bB appeared in February 2000 it stood out for its compact, boxy styling. Tamiya recreates that character in the Tamiya 58265 - 1/10 Toyota bB M-03L kit, combining a faithful body shell with a chassis tailored to smooth, predictable driving.

Key aspects of the M-03L chassis

The M-03L builds on the established M-Chassis concept, adding a 239mm wheelbase to improve stability and an ABS monocoque frame for stiffness. A separate polycarbonate gearbox keeps drivetrain components tidy, and the chassis is finished in black for a neat presentation.

Wheel, tyre and suspension setup for road use

This model uses four-wheel double wishbone suspension and low friction dampers to maintain composure on paved surfaces. The curved spoked wheels fitted with 60D radial tyres provide steady traction, and the shock-resistant polycarbonate body mirrors the original bB design, complete with supplied "side flames" decals.

Detailed and reliable, the Tamiya 58265 - 1/10 Toyota bB M-03L kit appeals to collectors and drivers who prefer accurate scale appearance combined with steady road performance.

The kit is well suited to both display builds and active driving on paved surfaces; its chassis is designed for stable handling rather than aggressive racing.
This chassis accepts standard 540-size motors, which provide a good balance of torque and top speed for general on-road use.
After painting, apply a clear lacquer designed for polycarbonate to guard against scratches and UV fading; handle the shell by its inner edges during assembly.
Tamiya parts for the M-Chassis series are commonly stocked by hobby stores and online suppliers, so routine spares and upgrades are reasonably accessible.
