Tamiya 58480 1/10 RC Honda Civic Type-R R3 TT01E JAS Motorsport Kit - Scale Track Replica  [58480]

Honda Civic Type-R R3 Heritage and Track Roots

Blending road car familiarity with motorsport DNA, the Tamiya Honda Civic Type-R R3 on the TT-01 chassis captures the character of the J.A.S. Motorsport race car in 1/10 scale. The model reflects the Civic Type-R R3's competition pedigree while remaining accessible to hobbyists who value authentic looks and scale accuracy.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis: Low Center, High Stability

The TT-01 Type-E bathtub frame locates motor and battery low to reduce roll and improve balance. That low centre of gravity helps the Civic Type-R R3 feel planted through corners. Fiberglass-reinforced nylon upper deck sections and protective gear covers add stiffness, while the 3-piece tie rod smooths steering feedback for precise control on tight circuits.

Scale Details and Lighting Effects

Every exterior cue is modelled with care, from the roof intake and mirrors to the rear wing. Front and rear metal-plated light cases house LEDs to provide realistic head and tail lights. The supplied sticker sheet reproduces the red and dark grey race livery and Type-R emblems so the finished model looks the part on display or at the track.

This Tamiya Civic Type-R R3 on the TT-01 chassis suits collectors and racers who want a faithful scale replica that also responds well on the road course.
