58640 Tamiya – 1/10 Mazda Demio / Mazda2 (M05L Chassis)

This R/C assembly kit model recreates the 4th generation model of Mazda&8217;s
worldwide hit car, known as the Mazda2 around the world and the Demio in Japan.
This compact car has a body incorporating design themes from Mazda&8217;s &8220;Soul
of Motion (Kodo)” concept, such as the front section with its striking
headlights stylized like the eyes of wild animals, linked by the &8220;signature
wing&8221; skirting the front grille. It won the 2014-2015 Car of the Year
Japan award for Mazda.

The Tamiya R/C model faithfully captures the fun and maneuverability of the
real life subject as it comes on the proven M-05 L-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.
