Give Your On-Road Model an Authentic Ford Focus RS Body

The Tamiya 51718 Ford Focus RS Custom Body Set is produced in 1.0mm polycarbonate to provide a lightweight yet resilient body for 1/10 on-road cars. It is suitable for modders and racers aiming for a period-correct Ford Focus RS look.

Included Detail Components

Separate plastic parts replicate the side mirrors and rear wing from the 2003 Ford Focus, helping deliver a convincing scale appearance. The package also contains masking and marking stickers to aid tidy painting.

Compatibility, Mounting and Notes

Specifically designed for 257mm wheelbase TT-01 Type-E and TT-02 chassis (this excludes TT-02B, TT-02T and TT-02FT variants), the body set includes metal parts for reliable attachment of the additional components. Some trimming and fitting will be required for final assembly.

Can I use standard spray paints on this body?

Use paints labelled for polycarbonate bodies to ensure flexibility and adhesion. Apply light, even coats and allow proper curing time between layers.

Are mounting brackets included for the wing and mirrors?

Yes, metal parts are provided to secure the mirrors and rear wing, which should be fitted after the main painting and trimming steps.

Should I clear coat the decals after painting?

Applying a clear lacquer will help protect paint and decals during use. If running in wet or gritty conditions, a clear coat will extend the finish life significantly.
