Tamiya 46607C XBS Schnitzer BMW M3 1/10 RTR Street Racer  [46607C]

Origins of the BMW M3 in RC Scale

The BMW M3 earned its reputation in touring car racing, notably during the 1987 World Touring Car Championships with Schnitzer Motorsport. Piloted by Roberto Ravaglia, the coupe's 2.5-liter engine produced around 340ps and helped secure the Drivers' Championship. Tamiya captures that racing heritage with the 46607C in faithful 1/10 scale for model car fans.

What the XBS Chassis Brings

The model uses the XBS chassis, a tuned evolution of the TT-01 Type-E that prioritizes stability for on-road work. Its 4WD shaft-drive layout gives dependable traction on tarmac, while the double wishbone suspension with oil-filled dampers smooths out handling. The polycarbonate shell recreates the BMW M3 lines while remaining light and durable.

Drive Components and Practical Setup Advice

This RTR arrives with a 540-brushed motor and the TEU-104BK ESC for consistent throttle response, plus a 2-channel AM Adspec GP transmitter for straightforward control. Tunable points like ride height and gearing let racers dial in handling for different track surfaces and driving styles.

The Tamiya 46607C RC 1/10 XBS Schnitzer BMW M3 suits novices and experienced drivers alike, with a ready-to-run layout and adjustable settings for tailoring on-road performance.
