For RC hobbyists who value authentic looks and reliable mechanics, the Tamiya 58723 Fiat 131 Abarth Rally Olio Fiat MF-01X Chassis is an appealing build. This 1/10 scale kit reproduces the iconic Fiat 131 Abarth Rally that scored major wins in 1977 and 1978, now available as a detailed assembly model for collectors and drivers alike.
The MF-01X chassis is built to handle a range of surfaces, providing a compact 4WD layout that balances power and control. A rear-mounted motor drives the back wheels while a propeller shaft sends torque to the front, resulting in stable weight distribution. Independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers gives predictable handling whether you drive on tarmac or packed dirt.
Tamiya captures period detail with a polycarbonate body that mirrors the original rally car. The kit includes separate plastic parts for mirrors and the rear wing to boost realism. Builders can add optional 5mm LEDs to the light cases, and the supplied decal sheet helps recreate the classic livery or personalise the car.
The Tamiya 58723 Fiat 131 Abarth Rally blends historic styling with a flexible MF-01X platform, making it a satisfying project for builders and a capable performer for varied driving surfaces.
