Heritage Rally Model: Tamiya 58278 Lancia 037 RA

The Tamiya 58278 Lancia 037 RA reproduces a celebrated 1980s rally car at 1/10 scale, reflecting the Group B competition era. The original road model featured a Sergio Pininfarina-designed fiberglass reinforced resin body and a supercharged powerplant exceeding 300 horsepower.

Accurate Exterior Reproduction

Tamiya has captured the Lancia 037 RA styling faithfully, including the characteristic four-headlight assembly. The kit also supplies driver and co-driver figures and period rally decals to complete the stage-ready look.

Robust Chassis Engineering

On the TA-03R chassis, the model uses a belt-driven mid-ship full-time 4WD system. The hardened FRP bathtub frame supports gearboxes fitted with nine ball bearings to reduce friction and deliver efficient power transfer.

Cornering and Suspension Balance

The independent double wishbone suspension with dedicated dampers gives composed handling, while semi-slick tyres provide reliable grip for sealed-surface rallying and display runs.

Does the model include electronics and a speed controller?

Electronics are not supplied; you will need to fit a motor, ESC, servo and receiver separately. Check space under the body for component fitment.

What upgrades give the biggest handling gains?

Upgrading to higher quality dampers, aluminium suspension arms and low-friction bearings will noticeably sharpen steering and stability.

Are spares for the TA-03R chassis easy to source?

Common spares like gears, bearings and suspension pieces are widely available from hobby retailers and aftermarkets for the TA-03R platform.
