Precision Drift Replica: Yokomo DPM-REA and RE Amemiya Livery

The Yokomo DPM-REA brings the spirit of the RE Amemiya Mazda RX-7 to 1/16 scale, delivering a kit that models professional drift styling while remaining a fully functional RC drift car. This build is aimed at modellers who want accurate body detail and chassis parts that behave like a true drift machine.

Styled for Authentic Drift Handling

Yokomo captured the RE Amemiya look with period-correct decals and body trim, while engineering the DPM-REA chassis for reliable drift performance. The layout includes a shaft-driven 4WD system and independent suspension to help maintain controlled slides at speed.

Chassis Design and Durability

Beneath the body is a rugged composite chassis built for strength and tunability. Solid axles and adjustable double-wishbone suspension let you dial in roll and angle for realistic drift behavior, and the shaft 4WD spreads torque to all wheels for consistent traction.

Tuning and Parts Support

The DPM-REA is set up for upgrades and suspension tuning, from shocks and arm geometry to motor and gearing changes. Both newcomers and experienced drivers can refine handling and power to match driving style.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

How steep is the learning curve for the Yokomo DPM-REA?

The kit has detailed instructions and is approachable for hobbyists with basic assembly skills, though getting consistent drift technique will take practice and setup tweaks.

What electronics are recommended for optimal drift control?

Use a smooth-throttle ESC and a torque-focused brushless motor or a high-torque brushed motor paired with a precise steering servo to improve control during slides.

Can I change the suspension geometry on the DPM-REA?

Yes, the adjustable double-wishbone setup allows you to alter camber, toe, and roll characteristics to tune drift angle and balance.

Are the body panels ready to paint right out of the box?

The kit ships with unpainted body parts so you can prepare and paint the RE Amemiya shell to your preferred finish and detailing level.
