Honda S800 Heritage Captured in 1/10 Scale

In the mid 1960s Honda moved from motorcycles into small sports cars, and the S800 launched in 1965 as a clear example of that shift. The lightweight 710kg coupe and roadster carried a high revving engine rated around 70hp and could reach roughly 160km/h. Tamiya recreates that era with this 1/10 scale model, letting builders enjoy a compact but faithful tribute to the original S800.

Engineering That Rewards Precision Driving

The Tamiya 58454 - 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing sits on the M-05 chassis, prized for balanced handling and sharp steering. The polycarbonate shell reproduces the S800 lines while the monocoque frame helps centralize mass and lower the centre of gravity. The result is improved stability and confident cornering on technical layouts.

Easy Upgrades for Better Handling

Owners can enhance performance with Tamiya option parts like the M-Chassis Aluminum Damper Set or the M-05 Aluminum Front and Rear Uprights for stronger suspension support. Fit the M-05 Ball Bearing Set and Titanium Screw Set to reduce friction and increase reliability during frequent running sessions.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: M-05
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • Motor: Type 540 included
  • Steering Linkage: 3-piece tie-rod

The Tamiya 58454 - 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing is a strong choice for hobbyists who enjoy detailed scale models and chassis tuning. Its solid M-05 platform and upgrade path suit newcomers learning setup and experienced drivers refining lap times.

Assembly is straightforward if you have some modelling experience. The instructions are detailed and most parts fit cleanly, but expect to spend a few evenings on the build rather than a single session.
A basic 2-channel radio is sufficient for drive and steering. Use a 6-cell NiMH pack or equivalent LiPo setup with a compatible connector and voltage ratings for the included Type 540 motor and ESC.
Start with improved dampers and aluminium uprights to reduce flex and sharpen response. Swapping to ball bearings and upgrading hardware to titanium also cuts drivetrain losses for smoother throttle feel.
Yes, the scale looks great on display and the M-05 chassis makes it capable on club circuits with modest setup changes. It balances visual authenticity with practical on-track performance.
