Authentic FD3S Styling Matched to a Drift Chassis

The Tamiya 58648 - 1/10 RX-7 Drift TT-02D Kit reproduces the distinctive lines of the RX-7 FD3S in a light, robust polycarbonate body and mounts it on a drift-optimised TT-02D chassis. Scale details such as separate light units and mirrors contribute to a convincing replica.

RX-7 Handling Characteristics in Miniature

The compact layout and aerodynamic profile of the FD3S translate to predictable rotation in RC form. This body helps the car respond naturally when initiating controlled slides while keeping the overall weight favourable.

Drift-Oriented TT-02D Specification

The TT-02D platform includes 24mm drift tyres on matte metal-plated wheels, CVA oil shocks on a four-wheel double wishbone suspension and a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain. Full ball bearings, an aluminium motor heat sink and the Type 540 sport-tuned motor provide dependable, serviceable performance.
