A Formula Replica Built for Scale Racing

The Tamiya 58559 - 1/10 RC Ferrari F2012 is a faithful scale tribute to the 2012 Scuderia Ferrari F1 car, created for hobbyists who value authentic lines and accurate proportions. This kit focuses on realistic styling and hands-on building, letting experienced modellers recreate the race car details.

F104 Chassis: Simple, Direct Performance

The F104 chassis is prized for its clean layout and direct-drive 2WD setup, delivering a planted on-road feel. Independent front suspension paired with a solid rear axle gives the model predictable cornering and stable high-speed behaviour on smooth circuits.

Detailed Bodywork for Custom Finishes

The clear polycarbonate body is shaped to match the Ferrari F2012 silhouette and is ideal for custom paint and decal work. Builders can choose between two types of side pontoons to tweak the model's aero appearance and reproduce authentic race livery details.

Hardware That Supports Driving Precision

Powered by a 540-brushed motor, the kit provides dependable speed while the ball pressure plate differential helps maintain traction through turns. Friction dampers help control the ride and keep the car composed over minor surface imperfections.

Specifications

  • Drive-train: 2WD RWD
  • Suspension: Independent front/Solid axle rear
  • Body Material: Clear Polycarbonate

This Tamiya Ferrari F2012 suits experienced builders and collectors who appreciate period-correct design and tunable handling. Its combination of authentic bodywork and straightforward chassis layout makes it a rewarding project for on-road formula fans.

This kit is aimed at hobbyists with some assembly experience; the F104 layout is straightforward but painting the polycarbonate shell and setting up the drive train benefit from basic modelling skills.
A standard 540-brushed motor with a compatible ESC, a mid-torque steering servo and a compact receiver are a good match; keep weight central for balanced handling.
Use polycarbonate-specific paints applied from the inside of the shell for durability, and mask carefully for crisp livery lines and sponsor detail.
Common upgrades include higher-spec bearings, adjustable shocks for better damping, and a tuned motor or ESC for more responsive acceleration, depending on rules for your track or event.
