Tamiya 58368 Suzuki Swift Super 1600 M03M Rally Kit  [58368]

Suzuki Swift Super 1600 rally roots and RC appeal

For those immersed in RC racing, the Tamiya 58368 Suzuki Swift Super 1600 on the M03M chassis blends motorsport history with practical engineering. The full-scale Swift made its mark in the 2005 Junior World Rally Championship, earning podium results that inspired this detailed 1/10 reproduction.

M03M chassis design and layout

The M03M chassis reflects Tamiya's drive for balanced handling, featuring a 225mm middle wheelbase for stable weight distribution. A front-mounted 540 type motor powers the front wheels, while the 4-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension and friction dampers deliver controlled responses across smooth and slightly rough surfaces.

Notable kit features and running gear

The kit includes a polycarbonate body shaped like the Swift Super 1600, plus lightweight front and rear uprights and eight 1050 ball bearings to reduce drivetrain drag. Tread pattern rubber tyres with inner sponge provide practical grip, and a mid-ship battery layout helps maintain predictable cornering balance.

The Tamiya 58368 Suzuki Swift Super 1600 suits builders who want a rally-inspired on-road kit with room for tuning. It works well for first-time kit builders and seasoned RC drivers looking for a reliable, front-wheel drive platform.
