For those who are captivated by the thrilling world of drift racing, the Tamiya 57766 Mazda RX-7 Drift Spec is a dream come true.

Built on the TT-01D chassis, this ready-to-run (RTR) model brings both style and substance to your RC collection.
Engineered for Performance
The TT-01D chassis is renowned for its robust design, featuring a 4WD shaft-driven system that ensures stability during high-speed drifts. The car is equipped with a coil spring-damped, 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, offering exceptional handling and control. Sealed front and rear differential gearboxes add to its durability, making it a reliable choice for both beginners and seasoned drifters.
Authentic Design Meets Advanced Features
Tamiya has meticulously recreated the aerodynamic silhouette of the Mazda RX-7 using durable polycarbonate. Pre-painted and ready to impress, the body also includes LED lights for head and tail illumination, enhancing its realistic appearance during night runs. For those looking to expand their lighting options, the TLU-02 Light Control Unit can be added for advanced light management.
Drift-Specific Modifications
This model comes with drift-spec enhancements including specialized suspension tuning, full ball bearings, and a sport-tuned motor. The aluminum heat sink helps maintain optimal motor temperature, while CVA mini shock dampers and short springs contribute to precise handling. The narrow mesh wheels, fitted with Drift Tire Type D, are crafted from a resin and rubber compound designed for extended drift sessions.
