The Tamiya 1/10 Honda HSV-010 captures the character of the Weider-entered Super GT500 car with an accurately sculpted body and race-correct livery. This kit appeals to modellers and drivers who prioritise authenticity and setup options.
In 2010 Team Weider's HSV-010 recorded standout performances, taking pole and a race win at Okayama and securing podium placings at Sepang and Sugo. Their steady results through the season led to the Super GT500 title, a key part of the car's appeal to enthusiasts.
The TT-01 Type-E chassis offers a dependable platform with a low-mounted motor and battery to help reduce the centre of gravity. Fibreglass-reinforced nylon components and gear covers boost rigidity, while the 3-piece tie rod setup refines steering feel. The drivetrain uses a shaft-driven full-time 4WD layout with double wishbone suspension and robust differential gears for reliable running.
Separate moulded parts such as the large rear wing and mirrors enhance realism, and the included LED lights simulate head and tail lamps for running in lower light. The car rides on 10-spoke wheels with racing radial tyres, and a spare set of slick tyres on 6-spoke wheels is provided for faster track conditions.
The Tamiya Honda HSV-010 TT-01E is a fine choice for collectors wanting a genuine race replica and for drivers who enjoy tuning their setup. The kit requires a separate ESC and radio, allowing you to select electronics that match your performance goals.
