Historic Rally Model on a Proven Chassis

The Tamiya 58292 Ford Focus RS WRC recreates the 2002 World Rally car driven by Carlos Sainz at 1/10 scale. Mounted on the TL-01 chassis, the kit offers a faithful appearance and a tried-and-true mechanical layout for modelers focused on realism and drivability.

TL-01 Chassis: Tunable and Serviceable

The TL-01 provides a straightforward platform with monocoque ABS construction for strength and ease of maintenance. Its 4WD shaft drive maintains traction and the independent suspension allows owners to experiment with setup for improved cornering balance.

Scale Detail and Finish Quality

The polycarbonate body captures the Focus RS WRC proportions and aerodynamic cues. Combined with the 10-spoke wheels and slick tyres, the finished model presents a realistic rally stance that photographs well and looks authentic on the shelf.

Modify and Improve with Hop-Up Parts

There are many hop-up parts compatible with the Tamiya 58292, from reinforced drivetrain pieces to adjustable suspension components. These options help owners tailor the car to display, casual track days or more spirited driving.

The Tamiya 58292 Ford Focus RS WRC combines period rally aesthetics with a flexible TL-01 chassis, offering a platform that welcomes both careful restoration builds and practical performance upgrades.

The specification lists a 7.2V battery as the power source; choose a compatible pack that fits the battery tray and connector style used with your electronics.
Adjust tyre choice, ride height and camber, and consider small hop-ups such as sway bars or longer arms to tune front-to-rear balance and reduce understeer or oversteer.
Many hop-up parts are compatible across Tamiya touring and rally platforms, but always check fitment and part numbers before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Use polycarbonate-specific paints, apply several thin coats, and mask carefully for crisp graphics; finish with decals once paint is fully cured to avoid lifting.
Stronger bevel gears, metal universal shafts and reinforced diff components are common upgrades to increase drivetrain longevity under harder use.
Official Tamiya spares and hop-up parts are sold through hobby retailers and online shops; refer to part lists to order correct items for the TL-01 and the Focus RS WRC body.
