Drifting moved from underground scenes into mainstream motorsport, and RC versions bring that same sliding excitement to local tracks and car parks. The Tamiya 58386 NISMO Coppermix Silvia mounted on the TT-01D chassis is a 1/10 scale kit designed to recreate drift driving in a tuneable RC format.
First revealed at the 2005 NISMO Festival at Fuji Speedway, the Coppermix Silvia is a street-legal take on the S15 Silvia that gained attention on drift circuits. Its silver paint with red and black touches makes it instantly recognisable among drift fans and model collectors.
Drifting is about controlling oversteer while carrying speed through a corner, using throttle and steering inputs to maintain a controlled slide. Running an RC drift car lets you practise lines and car control without the expense of full-size tires and repairs.
The TT-01D is engineered for drift performance. It ships with drift-oriented tyres that balance grip and slip and are pre-mounted for ease of build. The chassis includes adjustable suspension, full ball bearings, a sport-tuned motor and an aluminium heat sink to manage power. The 4WD shaft-driven bathtub chassis gives a stable platform, and the independent double wishbone suspension plus sealed differentials deliver precise handling on corner exits.
The Tamiya 58386 NISMO Coppermix Silvia is a solid choice for RC enthusiasts who like to customise setups and practice drift technique; it delivers a rewarding build and predictable slide behaviour.
