Heritage Racer in 1/12 Scale: Tamiya 58555 Mazda 787B

The Tamiya 58555 scales down the legendary Mazda 787B into a 1/12 RC kit that balances period-correct styling with race-capable mechanics. Built around the RM-01 chassis, it features a Direct Drive 2WD system and the Pivot Ball Link Rear (PBLR) suspension to replicate authentic handling traits.

RM-01 Engineering and Power Delivery

The RM-01 provides a compact layout optimized for on-road use. Direct Drive 2WD ensures efficient torque transfer and a predictable throttle feel, while the PBLR rear layout enhances traction and composure through technical sections.

Scale Appearance and Custom Paint

The clear polycarbonate body accurately reflects the 787B profile and is prepared for polycarbonate paint. With faithful body lines, foam tyres and a solid axle drivetrain, the kit presents a convincing scale appearance on display or track.

Electronics and Setup Guidance

Purchasers should supply a radio system, servo, receiver and a 3.2V battery. The model includes options for adjusting ride height and gearing, letting builders tune balance and top speed to suit circuits or driving style.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Drive-train: 2WD RWD
  • Suspension: Pivot Ball Link Rear (PBLR)
  • Body Material: Clear Polycarbonate
  • Motor Type: 380-brushed type
  • Bearing Type: Shielded Ball Bearing

good service, good email exchanges, fast shipping
Basic modelling tools, a small set of screwdrivers, hobby knife and hex drivers cover most of the build; a soldering iron is useful for battery and connector work.
The kit calls for a 3.2V battery; compact pack sizes that fit the RM-01 tray are recommended to maintain CG and allow tidy wiring.
Aftermarket upgrades like stiffer springs, different foam tyre compounds and higher quality bearings can tighten handling and reduce rolling resistance.
Use paints formulated for polycarbonate bodies and apply in thin coats. Preserve visibility of mounting points and use fresh masking tape for crisp edges.
