Tamiya 58388 Mazda RX-7 Drift Spec TT-01D Ready-To-Build Kit with LEDs  [58388]

Step Into Drift Culture with the Tamiya 58388 RX-7

For model drivers interested in slide technique and visual accuracy, the Tamiya 58388 RC Mazda RX-7 Drift Spec recreates the FD3S profile on a drift-optimised TT-01D chassis. The kit focuses on approachable handling and authentic presentation.

TT-01D Chassis: Stability Meets Simplicity

The TT-01D chassis is engineered for straightforward builds and consistent on-track behaviour. Its 4WD shaft-driven system improves traction and directional control, while the rigid bathtub frame reduces unwanted flex. The coil-sprung, independent double wishbone suspension and sealed diff gearboxes are aimed at repeatable drift setups.

Body, Paint and Drift Components

The polycarbonate shell faithfully matches the RX-7 silhouette and accepts polycarbonate spray paints for custom finishes. Drift-specific elements include a sport-tuned motor setup, aluminum heat sink, CVA mini shock dampers and short springs to sharpen response during slides.

Drift Wheels, Tyres and Lighting

Fitted with silver narrow mesh wheels and 26mm Drift Tire Type D, the car uses a compound developed for extended sliding. The included type 540 motor and electronic speed controller deliver controllable power, and the LED head and tail lights activate when the unit is powered. For advanced lighting options, use the TLU-02 Light Control Unit (ITEM 53937).

Customisation and Tuning

Numerous hop-up parts are available separately, letting owners tailor steering, traction and power characteristics to suit local surfaces and driving preferences.

The Tamiya 58388 Mazda RX-7 Drift Spec suits newcomers learning to drift and experienced model drivers seeking a dependable platform for upgrades and display.
