Scale Touring Replica - Tamiya 58540 Honda Accord Aero Custom

The Tamiya 58540 recreates the 1996 Honda Accord Aero Custom as a precise 1/10 scale kit, aimed at hobbyists who favour authentic touring car builds. Sitting on the FF-03 chassis, the model reproduces the front-wheel-drive dynamics and on-road stance of the original vehicle.

FF-03 Layout and Handling Traits

The FF-03 architecture is tuned for front-wheel-drive behavior, featuring fully independent double wishbone suspension paired with oil-filled dampers for measured control. This setup delivers predictable steering and a stable platform for on-road circuits.

Scale Accuracy and Performance Parts

The clear polycarbonate body is supplied with decals to replicate original trim details, while the 540-brushed motor provides reliable motive force. Rubber tyres give consistent grip on sealed surfaces, and the kit includes options to alter ride height and gear ratio for fine tuning.

The Tamiya 58540 Honda Accord Aero Custom is a strong choice for collectors and racers who want a true-to-style FWD touring model with scope for setup and electronics upgrades.

The kit is approachable for modellers with basic experience in RC assembly but rewards patience and attention to detail, especially when preparing and painting the polycarbonate shell.
A 7.2V NiMH pack recommended by the kit provides good balance; modern LiPo options can offer more power but may require careful placement to maintain handling balance.
Tamiya support and third party vendors commonly stock replacement parts and decal sets; use the exact model number when searching to ensure fitment.
The FF-03 platform can be prepared for club-level on-road events with appropriate tyres and tuned suspension, though class rules may require specific electronics or tyre choices.
