Tamiya 58463 FF03 PRO Brings Front-Wheel Drive Touring to the Track
The Tamiya 58463 FF03 PRO chassis kit showcases a distinctive front-wheel-drive layout with a horizontally mounted front motor, delivering handling characteristics that differ from conventional 4WD touring cars. Built with high-grade parts, it appeals to experienced racers and hobby builders who want to explore FWD dynamics.
Precision engineering across the platform
The FF03 PRO features a newly designed lower deck and a compact front gearbox that help concentrate mass while lowering the centre of gravity. TRF special dampers fitted with titanium-coated piston rods and aluminium turnbuckle shafts give reliable damping and a wide range of adjustment.
Setup for nimble cornering
Equipped with short reversible suspension arms and TRF416 uprights in the inboard front suspension, this chassis is tuned for sharp response and predictability. You can fine-tune the wheelbase by changing rear block parts to 257mm, 245mm, or 233mm depending on the track and driving style.
Fitment notes and customisation tips
Many 1/10 touring car bodies will fit the FF03 PRO, but some shells are incompatible, including the Peugeot 306 Maxi WRC and Audi A4 DTM. The kit does not include body, tyres, motor, ESC, R/C unit, battery, or charger, so plan your electronics and shell choice before building.
