Authentic Abarth 500 Assetto Corse in Scale

The Tamiya 57798 RC RTR Abarth 500 Assetto Corse faithfully reproduces the compact racing hatch with a polycarbonate body and period-correct livery. Modelled after the Assetto Corse that saw one-make competition, this RTR version blends scale detail with robustness for regular club or street runs.

M-05 Chassis: Compact and Stable

At the core sits the M-05 narrow semi-monocoque resin chassis designed to be light and easy to work on. The front-wheel-drive configuration, together with the considered placement of the gearbox, motor, battery pack, receiver, servo, and ESC, yields balanced weight distribution and a low center of gravity that steadies the car through turns.

Precision Steering and Traction

Four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and a 3-piece steering linkage provide accurate steering feel and consistent feedback. Fitted with 60D radial tyres on 11-spoke wheels, the model offers dependable traction for paved circuits and practice sessions.

The Tamiya 57798 RC RTR Abarth 500 Assetto Corse suits both newcomers and experienced modellers who want a realistic, ready-to-run compact that responds well to setup tuning.

This RTR is approachable for beginners while still offering tuning opportunities for experienced drivers, making it a versatile choice for club racing.
Basic setup such as checking tyre pressure, gear mesh, and transmitter trims is recommended before your first run to ensure predictable handling.
Brushless motors can be fitted if the ESC and drivetrain are compatible; verify fitment and gearing to avoid undue strain on components.
Common first upgrades are better tyres for your surface, improved radio gear for finer control, and a higher quality ESC if you plan on more powerful motors.
