Track-Proven Castrol Mugen NSX Heritage

The Tamiya 58233 RC Castrol Mugen NSX honours the iconic GT racers that shaped Japanese circuit racing from the 1990s onward. The full-size NSX, particularly the Castrol Mugen entry, was noted for light components and aerodynamic detail, and this 1/10 kit captures that race-oriented spirit for hobby drivers.

Race Car Aerodynamics and Livery

The road-going racer owed its performance to refined front splitters, bumper fins and a prominent rear wing assembly. Tamiya reproduces these features on the polycarbonate shell, complete with the distinctive white, green and fluorescent red livery that makes the car easy to spot on track.

Chassis and Handling Details

Using the TL-01 chassis, the Tamiya 58233 provides a sturdy base with independent double wishbone suspension front and rear for predictable cornering. The included 540 Type Motor supplies reliable, controllable power for newcomers and experienced racers tuning handling and gearing.

The Tamiya 58233 RC Castrol Mugen NSX is a rewarding kit for collectors and track drivers alike, blending historic styling with a platform that encourages setup and upgrades.

This kit suits hobbyists with basic assembly experience; the TL-01 layout is forgiving but assembly requires standard modelling skills and patience.
Yes, replacement polycarbonate bodies and small detail parts can be sourced through Tamiya dealers or parts resellers if you need extras after painting or trimming.
Medium compound touring tyres with a slick profile deliver good grip on tarmac; experiment with inserts and toe settings to fine tune cornering balance.
Inspect gears and bearings after several runs and clean or relubricate as needed; a basic check after each session keeps performance consistent.
