The Tamiya 58723-60A kit revives the late 1970s rally era with a faithful Fiat 131 Abarth Rally Olio Fiat livery. Based on the Fiat 131 Mirafiori, this model reflects the car that stood out on rally stages in 1977 and 1978, and pairs that heritage with the adaptable MF-01X chassis for a satisfying build and drive experience.
The MF-01X chassis is built to perform across a range of surfaces. Its sturdy monocoque frame and integrated gearboxes produce a reliable 4WD layout. With a rear-mounted motor driving the rear gearbox and a propeller shaft supplying the front, the front and rear differentials share the load to deliver balanced handling on both paved and flat loose surfaces.
The model body is vacuum-formed from lightweight polycarbonate for strength and accurate contours. Separate molded parts such as side mirrors and rear wings add realism, while the included rally-style spoke wheels and block-pattern tyres complete the period look. Optional LED light cases are provided for adding illumination to night runs.
Hobbyists can personalise the MF-01X with a wide selection of Hop-Up Options to tweak suspension, drivetrain, and handling characteristics. The kit comes with a 540 Torque Tuned Motor that offers a balanced starting point for both newcomers and experienced racers looking to upgrade.
The Tamiya Fiat 131 Abarth Rally on the MF-01X chassis blends nostalgia with practical performance, making it a versatile choice for builders who enjoy both display-level detail and adaptable driving characteristics.
