Authentic Cobra R Styling with Hobby-Grade Mechanics

The Tamiya 57703 - 1/10 XB Ford Mustang Cobra R recreates the Cobra R silhouette in detail while using dependable RC engineering to give consistent performance. It appeals to modellers and drivers who value period accuracy alongside usable handling.

TL-01 Layout and Power Delivery

The TL-01 chassis features a shaft-driven full-time 4WD arrangement that transmits drive through sealed front and rear gearboxes. The included differential gears help the car maintain stability when cornering and under acceleration.

Handling: Suspension and Dampers Explained

Independent double wishbone suspension and four friction dampers offer a controlled ride and predictable turn-in. The setup is easy to live with for everyday running and provides a clear baseline for tuning or upgrades.

Bodywork and Wheel Presentation

The pre-cut, printed polycarbonate body delivers a convincing scale appearance and resists regular knocks. Chrome 5-spoke wheels paired with radial tyres add to the car's authentic presentation on track or display stand.

A faithful scale model with straightforward mechanics, the Tamiya 57703 - 1/10 XB Ford Mustang Cobra R is well matched to hobbyists who appreciate both form and function.

Basic hobby tools like hex drivers, small pliers and a screwdriver set are sufficient for assembly and routine maintenance; a small set of metric spanners can help for wheel nut work.
The body is pre-printed and cut, but further detail painting and masking are possible using paints formulated for polycarbonate to avoid cracking or peeling.
For improved traction on paved surfaces choose softer compound road tyres; the standard radial tyres work well for general use but compound and tread changes affect grip significantly.
Yes, there are aftermarket options for stronger driveshafts and alloy uprated parts, and Tamiya also supplies genuine replacement components to maintain the original setup.
