Tamiya 43522 Ferrari F430 RC: Precision Touring on TNS Chassis

The Tamiya 43522 RC GP RTR Ferrari F430 presents a faithful scale representation combined with a performance-minded TNS chassis. Its ready-to-run layout and tuneable components provide a confident platform for drivers focused on precise handling.

Scale Accuracy Meets Handling

The clear body reflects the Ferrari F430 proportions while keeping centre of gravity low for nimble responses. Visual authenticity is matched by a chassis setup that prioritises predictable behaviour when pushed on circuit or road-style layouts.

Chassis Detail and Running Gear

The TNS double-deck frame uses aluminium reinforcement and durable nylon panels to achieve a mix of stiffness and impact resilience. The FS-12SW 2.1cc nitro engine drives through a reliable drivetrain with full ball bearings and a substantial disk brake. Independent double wishbone arms and oil dampers allow setup refinement for tight cornering and stability at speed.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Engine: FS-12SW (2.1cc)
  • Chassis Material: Fiber glass-based nylon
  • Suspension: Independent double wishbone

  • Tire Dimensions: Width 27mm, Diameter 65mm
  • R/C System: 2-channel with trigger type transmitter

The Tamiya 43522 is well suited to enthusiasts who want an RTR nitro tourer that looks authentic and adapts to handling upgrades for better lap consistency.

Basic hobby tools and a glow starter are needed; a few metric spanners and a tyre truer are useful for regular maintenance and tuning.
Medium compound slicks are a good starting point for smooth club tarmac, with adjustments to tyre width and camber aiding front-end grip.
Inspect bearings, gears and the clutch after every few runs and replace worn parts promptly; light greasing and cleaning will keep the drivetrain running smoothly.
While possible, converting to electric requires significant modification to fit motor, ESC and battery mounts; many drivers prefer the kit's nitro character instead.
