Mitsubishi Lancer Brought to 1/10 Scale Rally Action

The Mitsubishi Lancer has been a staple of rally competition since the early 1990s. The Tamiya 58421 RC Mitsubishi Racing Lancer DF-01 Kit recreates that rally heritage in a hands-on scale model, letting hobbyists relive the style and driving feel of classic rally machinery.

DF-01 Chassis Overview

The DF-01 layout is valued for its balance and adaptability. It uses a shaft-driven 4WD system to deliver consistent traction and predictable handling across different surfaces. This chassis is a solid base whether you are running on smooth tarmac or rough gravel trails.

Adjustable Suspension and Handling

The kit highlights an adjustable suspension package with generous stroke for mixed-surface use. CVA Damper Super Mini shocks fitted front and rear improve damping response, and the two rear suspension arm options let you change the wheelbase between 251mm and 257mm to suit a variety of bodies.

Tuning Gears and Ratios

Tamiya supplies two spur gears (78T and 75T) plus two pinion gears (29T and 32T), giving four selectable gear ratios. These choices let you tune acceleration and top speed to match driving conditions and motor setup.
