Tamiya 58493 1/10 RX-7 M-06 Classic Edition  [58493]

Detailed RX-7 Model Sculpted for Scale Performance

The Mazda RX-7 has a long history among sports car fans, and Tamiya recreates its defining shape in 1/10 scale using the adaptable M-06 chassis. The Tamiya 58493 kit gives builders a faithful exterior combined with a chassis that handles predictably once dialled in.

M-06 Chassis: Balance and Control

Built as a rear-wheel-drive platform, the M-06 mirrors the RX-7s dynamic layout. The 235mm wheelbase helps maintain composure at speed, and the double wishbone suspension provides the compliance needed for consistent cornering behaviour.

Authentic Bodywork and Trim Application

The polycarbonate body captures the RX-7s proportions and allows for precise paint and decal work. A complete trim sticker set is included, and first-run kits are supplied with matt finish gold-plated wheels as a distinctive touch.

Maintenance, Bearings and Battery Choices

The standard plastic bushings are fine for general use, but swapping to ball bearings is a standard upgrade for lowered drag. The battery compartment fits NiCd, NiMH, LiPo and LiFe packs so you can choose the chemistry that matches your electronics and weight distribution aims.

The Tamiya 58493 1/10 Mazda RX-7 on the M-06 chassis is an excellent pick for those who want a historically accurate model with a chassis that responds well to setup and upgrades.
