Reborn Touring Classic: Tamiya 84228 HKS Opel Vectra JTCC

Among scale racers, Tamiya is known for precision and faithful detail. The Tamiya 84228 HKS Opel Vectra JTCC channels that reputation, updating a 1995 touring racer with contemporary engineering on the FF-03 platform.

Opel Vectra Heritage on Track

The Vectra JTCC celebrates a notable era of touring competition, prized for nimble on-track behaviour. This 1/10 scale rendition keeps the car's racing character alive, appealing to hobbyists who value both history and handling.

FF-03 Chassis Tuned for Front-Wheel Drive

The FF-03 chassis is tuned for FWD layouts and features a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension that helps deliver predictable cornering and stable braking. That layout suits drivers who want a responsive, controllable setup for club runs or track sessions.

Authentic Bodywork and Build Components

The kit includes a vacuum-formed polycarbonate shell that reproduces the Vectra lines, plus side mirrors, a rear wing, and a full sticker set for period livery. Ball bearings and a Type 540 motor are supplied to ensure smooth drivetrain action and dependable performance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: FF-03
  • Drive Type: Front-Wheel Drive
  • Suspension: Double Wishbone (4-wheel)
  • Body: Polycarbonate with Livery Stickers
  • Motor: Type 540
  • Ball Bearings: Included

The Tamiya 84228 HKS Opel Vectra JTCC blends classic racing style with modern chassis design, making it a strong pick for collectors and drivers who enjoy authentic scale touring cars.

The kit is aimed at hobbyists with basic modelling experience. Assembly is clear and rewarding, but newcomers should set aside a few evenings to paint and trim the polycarbonate body and install hardware.
Common upgrades include higher torque Type 540 variants, aluminium suspension mounts, and low-friction bearings. Small tweaks to toe and camber also improve turn-in without changing the character of the chassis.
A 7.2V NiMH pack or a compact 7.4V LiPo will fit typical FF-03 setups. Check tray dimensions and use a secure strap to prevent movement during runs.
No, the polycarbonate shell is unpainted to allow personal livery choices. Use polycarbonate paints and masking techniques for best results.
