Tamiya 43522 Ferrari F430 RC: Nitro Touring Precision

The Tamiya 43522 RC GP RTR Ferrari F430 reproduces the look and attitude of the street car in a nitro-powered 1/10 package. The TNS chassis layout and scale bodywork give this model a confident feel on tighter circuits while staying faithful to Ferrari styling cues.

Scaled Styling with Track Intent

The detailed polycarbonate shell mirrors the F430's sculpted lines and aerodynamic touches, offering realistic appearance without compromising the handling balance. The model sits low and behaves predictably through sweepers and hairpins alike.

Sturdy Chassis Engineering

The TNS double-deck structure combines reinforced aluminum sections with fibre glass reinforced nylon for added rigidity. Under the shell the FS-12SW 2.1cc nitro engine provides lively throttle response, supported by a robust disk brake and ball bearings for smooth driveline action. The independent double wishbone suspension and aluminium-capped oil dampers allow precise setup changes.

The Tamiya 43522 balances scale authenticity and straightforward RTR operation, making it a strong choice for modelers who enjoy tuning handling and visual detail.

Yes, its suspension geometry and compact scale make it responsive on tighter layouts, with setup tweaks improving turn-in.
The 2.1cc nitro engine has a characteristic sound but remains manageable; a good muffler and careful tuning reduce noise without hurting performance.
Slicks suit smooth asphalt, while semi-slick or ribbed tyres give better control on slightly rougher surfaces; match compound to temperature and grip.
Yes, many hop-up parts are compatible, allowing upgrades to aluminium arms, higher-spec dampers, and improved mounting options for fine tuning.
