Tamiya 58555 1/12 Mazda 787B RM-01 Track Replica Kit  [58555]

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.

The Tamiya 58555 Mazda 787B is a solid choice for collectors and racers who want a compact, tunable model that echoes an important moment in endurance racing history.
