Track-Inspired Detail from Tamiya 58476

The Tamiya 58476 RC Honda Civic Type-R R3 J.A.S. Motorsport recreates the three-door Type-R in 1/10 scale with precise styling cues like the roof air intake, side mirrors, and rear spoiler. The supplied sticker sheet lets you apply the red and dark gray J.A.S. Motorsport livery and Type-R logos for an authentic race appearance.

FF-03 Chassis Design and Handling

The FF-03 chassis features a longitudinal battery layout that keeps the centre of mass low. A front gearbox with a ball differential helps manage traction under power for the front-wheel-drive setup. The suspension uses 4-wheel double wishbones and CVA oil dampers for consistent handling, while reversible inboard arms allow fine tuning. Stabiliser holders on the rocker bridge enhance roll control when cornering quickly.

Is this kit suitable for newcomers to RC assembly?

Yes, the kit is accessible for newcomers who are comfortable with basic modelling tasks; the build manual guides you through the drivetrain and suspension steps clearly.

What should I check before my first run?

Verify servo centring, receiver-battery connections, gear mesh, and that the ESC settings match your motor and battery. Proper tyre inflation or seating will also improve handling.

Can I use standard hobby LiPo batteries?

Yes, compact LiPo packs are commonly used in this chassis layout; ensure the pack dimensions fit the longitudinal battery tray and that your ESC supports the battery voltage.

What maintenance does the drivetrain need?

Regular checks include cleaning and lubricating gears, inspecting the ball differential, and ensuring suspension bearings are free of grit to keep performance consistent.
