Tamiya 58220 Mobil 1 NSX: Compact Racer with Authentic Livery

The Tamiya 58220 RC Mobil 1 NSX is a faithful one tenth scale kit that recreates the iconic race car. The TA03R platform and period graphics make it an attractive project for modelers focused on historic GT replicas.

Monocoque TA03R and Belt Drive Details

This kit uses the TA03R monocoque tub made from tough ABS and a belt-driven 4WD layout that gives consistent power delivery. Front and rear gearboxes add strength where it matters during competitive runs.

Suspension Layout and Tyre Choice

The four-wheel independent wishbone suspension pairs with Type-A racing slicks and longer rear axles included in the kit, delivering nimble handling suited to smooth track surfaces.

Heritage and Race-Inspired Design

The Mobil 1 NSX replica reflects the car's Japanese GT heritage and aerodynamic touches seen in the late 1990s. The model captures these visual cues while remaining straightforward to set up.

Finish Options and Decal Fidelity

A clear lexan body shell is supplied along with a precise decal set that reproduces the PIAA scheme. Builders can choose to display the model or prepare it for paint and track use.

  • Chassis: TA03R

The Tamiya 58220 is a strong pick for hobbyists who enjoy accurate race replicas and a chassis that responds well to setup tweaks.

Assembly time varies by skill, but expect several afternoons to complete a neat build including decals and basic electronics fitment.
With proper electronics and setup, the TA03R-based Tamiya 58220 can be competitive in vintage or touring class events that allow modified kits.
Begin with a conservative pinion and spur to protect the gearboxes, then adjust for shorter tracks or higher top speed depending on conditions.
Use a gloss basecoat to avoid silvering, cut large sheets for easier placement, and apply decal softener on curved areas for a flush finish.
