Tamiya 58467 Castrol Honda Civic VTi FF-03 1/10 Assembly Kit  [58467]

Castrol Honda Civic VTi Brought Back in 1/10 Scale

The early 1990s Civic VTi earned a reputation for nimble handling and the punchy 1.6-liter VTEC engine. Tamiya captures that race-bred character with the 58467 1/10 electric assembly kit, featuring an authentic Team Castrol livery on a clear polycarbonate shell.

FF-03 Chassis Breakdown for Precise FWD Handling

The FF-03 layout is tailored for a front-wheel-drive feel, using a longitudinal battery placement and a compact gearbox with a ball differential for smooth power transfer. Four-wheel double wishbone suspension works with CVA oil dampers and the inboard front suspension to give predictable grip and tuning range for road and track use.

Design Notes and Practical Details

The Tamiya 58467 blends visual detail with functional design. It measures 414mm long, 185mm wide and 132mm tall, and offers three wheelbase settings. The bathtub style chassis, front motor FWD setup, 3-piece steering tie-rod and CVA Super Mini shocks provide a solid platform. A Type 540 motor is included while an ESC must be fitted separately.

This Tamiya 58467 kit is well suited to modelers who want a realistic FWD racer to tune and run, whether as a display build or a competitive entry in club events.
