Tamiya 58461 DF-03Ra 1/10 Lancer Evo V WRC Chassis Kit  [58461]

Scale Rally Tribute: Tamiya 58461 Lancer Evo V

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V is a standout chapter in rally history, gaining major acclaim during the 1998 World Rally Championship under driver Tommi Makinen. The Evo V remains a popular choice for scale rally reproductions due to its competition pedigree.

Features of the DF-03Ra Chassis

The 1/10 scale Tamiya 58461 comes with a rugged polycarbonate shell that matches the wide arches and pronounced wing of the original. The DF-03Ra chassis utilises a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement to deliver controlled traction and stable handling across varied surfaces.

Drivetrain and Handling Characteristics

This kit includes the DF-03 drivetrain with front and rear ball differentials for balanced torque transfer. The suspension is designed for ample travel to accommodate on and off-road rally conditions, and the rally tyres boost grip where it is needed most.

Setup Options and Upgrades

Hobbyists can modify wheelbase via adjustable rear arms and fine tune camber using threaded upper shafts. A type 540 motor is supplied alongside several gear ratio choices, enabling straightforward performance tuning for different tracks.

Tamiya 58461 offers a realistic Evo V body on a capable DF-03Ra chassis, making it a practical pick for modellers who like to build, run and incrementally upgrade their rally cars.
