About this part

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.

Features:

  • The dynamic and compact form of the closed-top MX-5 is accurately recreated in durable polycarbonate.
  • Separate plastic parts are included to recreate side mirrors.
  • Comes with stickers to recreate Japanese, U.S. and rest-of-the-world market cars.
  • The nimble front wheel-drive M-05 chassis features a 225mm (M) wheelbase and has a wide range of option parts available to customize it.
  • Includes a Hobbywing THW-1060 Brushed ESC
  • Includes 540 brushed motor

Kit went together smoothly. Parts fit great. Now my plan is to build two M06 kits this year also. They are rear wheel drive. Unlike my M05 that was front wheel drive.
