Tamiya Mazda MX-5 1/10 FWD Electric On Road Kit (M-05)

The Tamiya Mazda MX-5 M-05 M-Chassis On Road Kit is a miniaturized replica of the 4th generation Mazda MX-5 (also known as the Roadster in Japan and the Miata MX-5 in the U.S.). This iconic platform enjoys a heritage dating back to 1989 and total sales in excess of 950,000 units. The dynamic and lightweight car was made to amplify the thrill of driving, with a punchy 1.5-liter (2.0-liter in North American market cars) inline 4-engine and 6-speed transmission, while including modern must-haves such as advanced safety equipment.

The Tamiya R/C model faithfully captures the fun and maneuverability of the real life subject as it comes on the proven M-05 M-chassis platform. The M-05 is a simple to build FWD (front wheel drive) machine, which allows for plenty of after-market parts to be outfitted as you grow with your skill. The lightweight, narrow semi-monocoque frame offers an optimized weight distribution and a low center of gravity. A ground-hugging 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and a 3-piece steering linkage ensure excellent stability during high-speed cornering.

Three wheelbase lengths (210mm, 225mm, 239mm) are possible by simply switching the position of the rear suspension parts, enabling a wide range of body choices available from Tamiya.
