Classic Race Styling Rebuilt: Tamiya 58247 Audi R8R Roadster

The Tamiya 58247 Audi R8R Roadster brings a legendary endurance racer to 1/10 scale with faithful contours and an open cockpit. This kit appeals to modellers who prize authentic race looks alongside practical on-track behaviour.

F103LM Platform and the Sport-Tuned 540 Setup

The F103LM chassis gives the model a compact, balanced layout that responds well to setup changes. The sport-tuned 540 motor supplies a useful blend of acceleration and controllability for club circuits and display runs.

Assembly Notes and Driving Personality

Constructing the Tamiya 58247 is a methodical process that rewards attention to detail. Once built and trimmed the car shows predictable steering, good straight-line pace and remains forgiving to driver inputs.

Where It Fits Among F103 Models

Compared with other F103 variants, the Audi R8R Roadster stands out for its racing heritage and visual drama, providing an alternative for collectors who want both style and driveability.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: F103LM
  • Motor: Sport-Tuned 540
  • Drive Type: 2WD
  • Body: Polycarbonate, Audi R8R Design

The Tamiya 58247 Audi R8R Roadster is well suited to hobbyists who want a period-correct racer with scope for setup tweaks and modest performance upgrades.

Yes. It is a solid step up from RTR cars, offering hands-on building experience while using familiar radio and battery systems for running.
Reducing pinion size or increasing spur teeth will lower top speed and improve acceleration smoothness, which helps on tighter layouts.
Aftermarket decal sheets and templates are available from specialist suppliers and can be used to recreate period paint schemes on the clear polycarbonate body.
Upgrading to aluminium suspension mounts and motor mounts can add stiffness and durability, especially if you plan regular competitive running.
