Just announced is the Tamiya Lotus Europa Special with M-06 chassis. This kit recreates the classic Lotos sports car with a highly detailed polycarbonate body and is nicely paired with the proven rear-wheel-drive M-06 chassis.
OVERVIEW
The Lotus Europa debuted in 1966, showcasing what was then a revolutionary midship engine layout, with a lightweight FRP body. In 1972 perhaps the finest model – Lotus Europa Special – in the series was released with 1.6-liter inline-4 engine (big valve twin-cam engine) capable of 126hp which was the largest maximum output among the Lotus Europa series. The Tamiya RC kit faithfully captures this classic car down to rear wing as seen in the SPECIAL variant of the Europa.
The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-drive setup and has a longitudinally-mounted battery pack, with RC equipment positioned on either side for optimum balance and a low center of gravity. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension uses metal-plated wheels, equipped with 60D radial tires at the front and 60D super grip tires at the rear. In addition, a 3-piece steering linkage offers nimble handling response.
