The Tamiya Lotus Europa Special M-06 RC Car Kit brings a legendary sports car to life in stunning 1/10 scale detail. This assembly kit recreates the iconic 1972 Lotus Europa Special, known for its revolutionary midship engine layout and lightweight FRP body. Tamiya has faithfully captured the car's distinctive design, from its sleek curves to its iconic headlights. The M-06 chassis provides a fun and agile driving experience, perfectly complementing the Europa Special's sporty character. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast or a fan of classic sports cars, the Tamiya Lotus Europa Special M-06 is a rewarding project that delivers exciting performance on the road.

Rear Motor Placement

The M-06 places the motor at the rear and powers the rear wheels. This creates a unique, snappy handling experience, rewarding precision and encouraging playful drifts.

Adjustable Wheelbase

The M-06 offers multiple wheelbase options (210mm, 225mm, 239mm). This allows you to fine-tune the chassis to match the body shell you choose, enhancing both scale realism and handling characteristics. This version comes with the 225 mm chassis instructions.

Lengthwise Mounted Battery Tray

The battery sits lengthwise in the centre of the chassis. This promotes excellent balance, weight distribution, and a low centre of gravity, giving the car a planted feel when throwing it around corners.

Double Wishbone Suspension

All four wheels feature independent double-wishbone suspension with oil-filled shocks. This system soaks up bumps for smooth handling on various surfaces.

Compact and Durable Design

The M-06 chassis is small in footprint, making it perfect for tight spaces or indoor tracks. Yet, its construction prioritises toughness for worry-free bashing.

Aftermarket & OEM support

Tamiya as well as a range of aftermarket companies offer a vast range of hop-up parts and bodies for the M-06. This lets you personalise everything from performance to looks, making your M-06 truly yours.
