1996 Accord Recreated in 1/10 Scale - Tamiya 58540

The Tamiya 58540 captures the character of the 1996 Honda Accord Aero Custom as a detailed 1/10 scale assembly kit. Built on the FF-03 platform, this model mirrors the front-wheel-drive layout and on-road ergonomics of the original while offering hobbyists a realistic build and driving experience.

FF-03 Platform and Front-Wheel Dynamics

The FF-03 chassis is engineered for FWD performance, giving this kit handling traits that reflect the real car. With fully independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers, the chassis delivers controlled steering response and stability for paved circuits.

Body Work and Drive Components

The polycarbonate body is supplied with a detailed sticker sheet for authentic trim and badging. Powered by a 540-brushed motor and mounted on smooth rubber tyres, the model balances realistic looks with straightforward on-road performance. Adjustable ride height and gear ratio let builders tune the car to their preferred setup.

How difficult is the build for someone new to kits?

The kit is aimed at hobbyists but remains accessible to beginners who follow the step-by-step instructions and take time with the polycarbonate painting and assembly stages.

What radio and servo specs are recommended?

Any standard 2.4 GHz radio set with a quality steering servo designed for small touring cars will work well; choose a servo with adequate torque for precise control.

Can I upgrade the motor or electronics later?

Yes, the FF-03 accepts common upgrades like a higher performance brushed or brushless motor and improved batteries, but check gear ratio and mounting compatibility before swapping parts.

Are replacement polycarbonate shells available?

Replacement bodies and sticker sets are often available from parts suppliers; keep the model number handy when searching to find compatible shells.
