Classic Italian racer brought to the model scene

The Tamiya 58465 - 1/10 RC Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR captures the spirit of the original 1960s Abarth in a faithful scale kit. Enthusiasts will find a well-proportioned polycarbonate body and period-correct styling translated into a compact, rewarding build on the M05 platform.

Authentic bodywork and scale details

The polycarbonate shell reproduces the distinct lines of the Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR, while molded plastic parts recreate the unique wheel shapes and side mirrors. Fitted with 55mm slick tires, the model presents a convincing on-road stance and good grip for paved running.

M05 chassis for sharp handling and balance

The M05 chassis delivers agile performance thanks to its 210mm wheelbase and low center of gravity. Key electronics such as the speed controller, servo, and receiver are positioned to help balance the car, improving turn-in and mid-corner composure for road or track use.

This Tamiya 58465 kit is a solid pick for modellers who enjoy classic race car aesthetics combined with a chassis that rewards setup work. It suits collectors and hobbyists aiming for accurate looks and responsive driving.

Is this kit manageable for someone new to RC assembly?

Yes, the assembly steps are straightforward and well documented, making it a suitable project for newer builders who want to learn basic modelling and electronics installation.

What motor should I fit for balanced performance?

A standard 540-size brushed motor pairs well with the M05 setup for balanced acceleration and control. If you want more top speed, consider a compatible brushless conversion and check gearing and ESC limits.

How does the M05 chassis behave compared to other on-road Tamiya kits?

The M05 focuses on nimble, precise handling with a compact footprint, which contrasts with longer chassis types that prioritise stability. It performs especially well on tighter circuits and street courses.

What additional items do I need to complete the car?

You will need a compatible radio transmitter and receiver, a battery pack and a charger. Check that your servo and motor match the kit mounting points and that the ESC settings suit your chosen power system.
