Tamiya 58388 Mazda RX-7 Drift Spec TT-01D Kit with LED Lighting  [58388]

Refine Your Slide with the Tamiya 58388 RX-7 Drift Spec

If you live for controlled slides and chassis tuning, the Tamiya 58388 RC Mazda RX-7 Drift Spec brings authentic drift styling and a setup focused on predictable handling. Modeled on the FD3S RX-7, this kit pairs classic body lines with a drift-ready TT-01D platform for accessible performance.

TT-01D Chassis: Built for Drifting Practice

The TT-01D chassis balances simple assembly with reliable handling characteristics. Its 4WD shaft-driven layout adds traction and stability, while the bathtub frame resists flex. The coil spring-damped, 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and sealed front and rear differentials help maintain consistent drift angles.

Bodywork and Performance Details

The polycarbonate body reproduces the RX-7 silhouette and accepts polycarbonate spray paints for custom schemes. Drift-specific upgrades in the kit include sport-tuned motor hardware, an aluminum heat sink, CVA mini shock dampers, and shortened springs to sharpen response on the corner.

Practical Drift Features

Equipped with silver narrow mesh wheels and 26mm Drift Tire Type D, the car uses a resin-and-rubber compound tuned for sustained slides. A type 540 motor and included electronic speed controller provide usable power, while head and tail LED lights activate with power on. For more complex lighting control, you can add the TLU-02 Light Control Unit (ITEM 53937).

Options for Personal Setup

Hobbyists can expand handling or visual changes through a wide range of separately sold tune-up parts and hop-up options to match personal driving style and track conditions.

The Tamiya 58388 Mazda RX-7 Drift Spec is a great entry point for new drifters and a flexible base for tuners who want to refine slide performance and appearance.
