Track-ready Abarth 500 Assetto Corse Replica

The Tamiya 57798 RC RTR Abarth 500 Assetto Corse puts a race-bred micro hot hatch into 1/10 scale. This ready-to-run model recreates the Assetto Corse edition with attention to the polycarbonate body, red stripe accents, and compact proportions that made the real car a popular one-make racer in 2008. Tamiya's kit captures the look and stance while keeping the model durable for regular club runs.

M-05 Chassis Designed for Balance

The M-05 chassis provides a lightweight, narrow semi-monocoque resin frame that makes assembly straightforward. With the front-wheel-drive layout and a carefully positioned gearbox, motor, battery, receiver, servo, and ESC, the package achieves an even weight spread and a low center of gravity. The result is a chassis that encourages stable behaviour when you push into corners.

Tuned Handling and Control

Suspension uses a 4-wheel independent double wishbone setup and a 3-piece steering linkage to deliver accurate steering input and predictable responses. The model rolls on 60D radial tyres fitted to 11-spoke wheels for reliable grip and control on smooth tarmac. Whether working tight chicanes or blasting down a straight, the car balances agility and composure.
