Tamiya 58235 McLaren Mercedes MP4/13 Retro Formula Kit  [58235]

A Scaled Tribute to the MP4/13 Formula Racer

The Tamiya 58235 RC McLaren Mercedes MP4/13 captures the streamlined look of the 1998 F1 contender in detailed 1/10 form. Combining historic visuals with the F103RS chassis lets modelers enjoy an authentic driving and display experience.

Balanced F103RS Platform

The F103RS chassis prioritizes a lightweight, rigid layout for nimble handling. Its half-double deck FRP construction works with a precision ball differential to deliver smooth power delivery and steady cornering response.

Period-Correct Body and Tyres

The clear polycarbonate body reproduces wings, deflectors, and race markings, while the reinforced slick tyres with an aramid fiber belt offer improved longevity and grip for spirited track sessions.

Handling Layout and Steering Precision

Front left/right independent suspension and a 3-point rear setup with a friction damper create a responsive yet controllable chassis. The steering tie-rods support a central servo mount for accurate steering inputs under load.

Tamiya 58235 makes a great build for enthusiasts who enjoy classic F1 replicas and a chassis that responds well to tuning. It works equally well for shelf display or club track outings.
