Classic Rotary Coupe Recreated in 1/10 Scale

The Mazda RX-7 is celebrated for its rotary powerplant and flowing silhouette, and Tamiya brings that legacy to life with a 1/10 scale model mounted on the M-06 platform. The Tamiya 58493 kit is tailored for modelers who value period-correct looks and chassis balance.

M-06 Chassis Dynamics

The M-06 layout is set up as a rear-wheel-drive platform to replicate the RX-7 driving feel. Its 235mm wheelbase provides track stability, while the double wishbone suspension helps the model stay planted through corners. This configuration is well suited to drivers chasing predictable handling and precise steering response.

Scale Finish and Authentic Trim

The polycarbonate body reproduces the RX-7s lines with crisp detail, and the full trim sticker sheet lets builders produce a faithful exterior. Early production kits include matt finish gold-plated wheels, giving the model a distinctive showroom touch.

Servicing, Upgrades and Power Choices

The kit ships with plastic bushings, but builders can fit ball bearings to reduce drivetrain friction for improved efficiency. The battery bay fits NiCd, NiMH, LiPo and LiFe packs, so you can select the chemistry that matches your driving goals and electronics setup.
