Tamiya 46607 Schnitzer BMW M3 TT01ES RTR Touring Car  [46607]

Racing roots of the Schnitzer BMW M3

The BMW M3 left a lasting mark in touring car history at the 1987 World Touring Car Championships, thanks to Schnitzer Motorsport and driver Roberto Ravaglia. The road car's 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 340ps helped secure the Drivers Championship, and Tamiya recreates that spirit with the 46607 model for scale RC fans.

TT01ES chassis and ready-to-run equipment

The Tamiya 46607 runs on the TT01ES chassis, a balanced evolution of the TT-01 Type-E known for easy setup and predictable handling. The RTR package includes a Type 540 motor, electronic speed control, and a 2-channel AM Adspec GP transmitter so you can get on track quickly and enjoy responsive control.

Practical tuning tips for improved handling

To sharpen on-track behaviour, check suspension geometry and try small changes to camber and toe. Swapping to stickier tyres will help grip on sealed surfaces, and adjusting gear ratios can trade top speed for stronger acceleration depending on your local track. These simple changes make the Tamiya 46607 more competitive without complex mods.

The Tamiya 46607 Schnitzer BMW M3 blends authentic race heritage with a friendly RTR layout. It suits newcomers who want an easy start and builders who plan stepwise upgrades.
