Classic Le Mans Replica: Tamiya 58555 Mazda 787B

The Tamiya 58555 transforms the historic Mazda 787B from the 1991 Le Mans grid into a precise 1/12 scale RC racer. Built on the RM-01 platform, this kit combines period-correct styling with race-oriented mechanics, including a Direct Drive 2WD layout and the Pivot Ball Link Rear (PBLR) suspension for stable cornering.

RM-01 Platform and Drive Layout

The RM-01 chassis delivers a compact, performance-focused foundation. Its Direct Drive 2WD setup gives smooth power transfer and predictable throttle response, while the PBLR suspension helps maintain grip and balance on asphalt circuits favored by on-road racers.

Clear Bodywork and Accurate Looks

The polycarbonate body reproduces the 787B shape faithfully and arrives clear for custom painting. The kit captures the car's distinctive lines and complements them with slick foam tyres and a solid axle drivetrain, matching the look and feel of classic sports prototypes.

Assembly and Setup for Hobbyists

This kit suits builders who like hands-on tuning. Required items include radio gear, a servo, a receiver, and a 3.2V battery so you can select electronics to suit your driving style. Adjustable ride height and gear ratio allow fine tuning for track conditions and personal preference.

good service, good email exchanges, fast shipping
This kit is best suited to modellers with some assembly experience; it includes tuning options that reward familiarity with RC setups rather than a first-time build.
Select a compact radio system, a low-profile servo and a 380-compatible ESC if running brushed motors. A 3.2V battery is required for the model's supply.
Mask the clear polycarbonate, then apply polycarbonate-specific paints in thin layers. Allow full curing between coats and use reference photos for authentic livery placement.
Common wear parts like foam tyres, pinion gears and bearings are available separately; check Tamiya spares lists for exact part numbers.
