Description
Overview
The Tamiya M-07R is the ultimate factory-tuned front-wheel-drive competition chassis, engineered for racers who demand podium-ready performance straight from the box. This limited-edition 1/10 scale chassis kit takes the revolutionary M-07 Concept platform and elevates it with a carefully curated selection of TRF (Tamiya Racing Factory) option parts, eliminating the guesswork of building a competitive FWD racer. Every upgrade has been selected by Tamiya's professional racing team to deliver maximum performance and value.
The M-07R arrives loaded with premium components including TRF Special Dampers, a carbon fiber battery holder, high-traction lower deck, titanium-coated suspension shafts, and 33mm double cardan joint shafts—upgrades that would cost significantly more if purchased separately. This is the ideal choice for serious M-Chassis racers who want to compete immediately, or enthusiasts who appreciate the engineering excellence of a fully-specced competition platform without the complexity of selecting individual hop-up parts.

Usage Notes
The M-07R is designed for competitive M-Chassis racing on smooth paved surfaces and indoor carpet tracks. The FWD layout requires different driving techniques than 4WD cars—smooth throttle inputs and trail braking work best. This is a chassis-only kit; a compatible M-Chassis body shell is required (sold separately). Recommended for experienced builders and racers ages 14 and up who are familiar with competition RC car setup and tuning.
