Classic Lancer Rally Replica in 1/10 Scale

The Mitsubishi Lancer has a long history in rally sport, and the Tamiya 58421 RC Mitsubishi Racing Lancer DF-01 Kit captures that rally DNA in a compact model. It gives enthusiasts a realistic replica to set up and drive on local tracks and off-road venues.

Why the DF-01 Chassis Works

The DF-01 chassis is praised for its robust driveline and balanced handling. It uses a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement that helps maintain traction and predictable control when the surface gets loose or bumpy.

Suspension Travel and Setup Options

This kit provides adjustable suspension with ample travel for mixed-surface use. The included CVA Damper Super Mini units front and rear improve damping, while dual rear arm choices let you switch the wheelbase between 251mm and 257mm to suit different body shells.

Gear Selection for Tuning

With two spur gears and two pinion gears supplied, the Tamiya 58421 kit allows four gear ratio combinations. That range enables you to tune acceleration and top speed depending on driving style and motor choice.

Knobby or multi-terrain tyres with good sidewall flex work well on gravel and grass, while slicker tyre options are better for smooth tarmac runs.
Yes, while the CVA Damper Super Mini units are capable, many owners opt for higher-end dampers or custom oil tuning to refine handling.
