Introducing the Tamiya 58463 FF03 PRO FWD Touring Chassis

The Tamiya 58463 FF03 PRO is a front-wheel-drive touring chassis that uses a horizontal front motor and compact gearbox to produce handling characteristics distinct from conventional 4WD kits. The design targets drivers who focus on setup and mechanical balance.

Design highlights and suspension hardware

A redesigned lower deck and compact front gearbox help concentrate mass while keeping a low centre of gravity. TRF special dampers, featuring titanium-coated piston rods and aluminium turnbuckle shafts, provide high-quality damping performance and easy adjustment.

Chassis geometry for controlled handling

The inboard front suspension employs short reversible arms and TRF416 uprights to improve steering precision and responsiveness. Wheelbase can be changed by fitting different rear block parts, with 257mm, 245mm and 233mm options to suit various circuits.

Compatibility notes and what you must supply

Although the FF03 PRO accepts many 1/10 touring car bodies, some shells such as the Peugeot 306 Maxi WRC and Audi A4 DTM are not compatible. The kit does not include body, tyres, motor, ESC, R/C unit, battery or charger, so choose components that suit a front-mounted motor layout.

The Tamiya 58463 FF03 PRO makes a compelling base for tuners wanting to refine a front-drive touring car with professional-grade components and flexible setup options.

Expect stronger front traction and a tendency to understeer when pushing hard. Braking and corner entry require different techniques compared with 4WD, and balancing front grip is essential.
Upgrading tyres, selecting appropriate damper oils and piston combinations, and fine-tuning turnbuckle lengths can make a significant difference. Choose motor and ESC combinations that match the car's front-drive characteristics.
Basic RC modelling tools are sufficient: hex drivers, side cutters, needle-nose pliers and a shock stand are helpful. A small torque driver and thread lock for metal-to-metal joints are recommended.
Begin with manufacturer's recommended oils and springs, then adjust rebound and compression stepwise. Use tyre choice and anti-roll balance to refine mid-corner stability and front-end bite.
