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.
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.
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.
