Tamiya 58454 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing on M-05 Chassis  [58454]

From Period Road Car to Scale Model

Honda made a leap from bikes to compact sports cars in the 1960s and introduced the S800 in 1965 as a spirited lightweight. With about 70hp tucked into a 710kg body, the S800 could reach around 160km/h and became a memorable sports car of its time. Tamiya interprets that classic in 1/10 scale for modellers who value period accuracy.

Chassis Design That Favors Handling

The Tamiya 58454 - 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing is built on the M-05 chassis, favoured for its neutral balance and crisp steering. The polycarbonate body reflects the original car's proportions while the monocoque frame concentrates mass low to improve cornering grip and responsiveness.

Upgrade Path and Optional Gear

Performance can be improved with Tamiya option items such as the M-Chassis Aluminum Damper Set and M-05 Aluminum Front and Rear Uprights to stiffen suspension points. Adding the M-05 Ball Bearing Set and Titanium Screw Set will lower friction and boost long term reliability.

The Tamiya 58454 - 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing combines authentic styling and a tunable M-05 chassis, making it suitable for collectors and competitive hobbyists looking to refine handling and appearance.
