Tamiya Lotus Europe Special Kit #58698
This R/C kit recreates the classic Lotus Europa Special. The polycarbonate body is paired with the RWD M-06 chassis.
The Lotus Europa debuted in 1966 and featured the then-revolutionary midship engine layout with a lightweight GRP body. In 1972, what was perhaps the best model in the series - the Lotus Europa Special - was released with a 1.6 liter in-line (big valve twin camshaft) engine developing 126 hp, the highest peak power of the Lotus Europa series. series was. The Tamiya R/C kit faithfully reproduces this classic up to the rear wing, as known from the SPECIAL variant of the Europa.
Great RR performance of the M-06
The M-06's chassis features a rear motor, rear-wheel drive and longitudinally mounted battery, with RC gear placed on either side for optimal balance and a low center of gravity. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension uses gray wheels with 60D radial tires at the front and 60D supergrip tires at the rear. In addition, a 3-piece steering linkage offers nimble handling.
