The Tamiya 58723-60A kit reproduces the iconic Fiat 131 Abarth Rally Olio Fiat, echoing the model that made an impact on rally stages in 1977 and 1978. The detailed livery and period cues are combined with the MF-01X chassis to offer both display appeal and adaptable driving traits.
The MF-01X chassis is engineered for flexibility across different driving surfaces. Its rigid monocoque frame and enclosed gearboxes form an efficient 4WD layout. Power from the rear-mounted motor is sent to the rear gearbox and via a propeller shaft to the front, so both differentials share torque and produce steady handling on tarmac and firm dirt.
Constructed from lightweight polycarbonate, the body keeps the correct silhouette while remaining resilient. Separate components like mirrors and the rear spoiler improve scale realism, and the supplied rally spoke wheels with block tyres complete the authentic appearance. Optional LED light cases can be added for running after dark.
The MF-01X supports a wide catalogue of Hop-Up Options for suspension, drivetrain, and steering refinement. Included in the kit is a 540 Torque Tuned Motor, which makes a reliable baseline for everyday driving and a clear upgrade path for competitors.
With period-accurate styling and the adaptable MF-01X chassis, this Tamiya Fiat 131 Abarth Rally kit suits modellers who want an authentic historic replica that can be refined for different driving conditions.
