Give Your On-Road RC a Ford Focus RS Makeover

The Tamiya 51718 Ford Focus RS Custom Body Set is fashioned from 1.0mm polycarbonate to combine lightweight performance with strong impact resistance. It is suited to hobbyists wanting a faithful Ford Focus RS appearance on their 1/10 on-road car.

Scale-Correct Trim and Accessories

Included plastic parts recreate the side mirrors and rear wing of the 2003 Focus, enhancing realism when fitted. The kit also provides masking and marking stickers to help you achieve clean paintwork and detailing.

Compatibility Details and Mounting

Intended for TT-01 Type-E and TT-02 chassis with a 257mm wheelbase (this does not include TT-02B, TT-02T, or TT-02FT models), the body comes with metal fittings so mirrors and wing attach reliably. Expect standard trimming and mounting during installation.

Do I need special tools to trim the body?

A sharp hobby knife, masking tape and fine scissors are usually enough. Use a body reamer or small drill for clean mounting holes to match the supplied metal parts.

Are the supplied stickers weatherproof?

Masking stickers are suitable for use while painting. They will hold during paint curing, but final decals for outdoor exposure should be sealed or applied over clear coat for longevity.

Can I fit aftermarket wing pieces to this shell?

Yes, but check mounting hole spacing and reinforce attachment points as required. The supplied metal parts give a reliable base for custom upgrades.
