Miniature motoring history realised

Tamiya has engineered the Tamiya 58427 - 1/10 RC Fiat 500 - M03M to replicate the compact lines of the Fiat 500 in a scale model that invites hands-on work. The kit balances accurate styling with an easy-to-use chassis for practical running and display.

The story behind the little car

The original Fiat 500 earned its place as a clever, space-saving city car. Tamiya's version keeps the spirit of that design and translates it into a hobby model that appeals to fans of classic European cars and compact-scale projects.

Drive layout and on-track behaviour

The M-03M chassis and front-mounted Type 540 motor combine to create a front-wheel-drive 2WD setup that delivers stable steering and consistent acceleration. The tyre-and-sponge combo improves contact patch behaviour for everyday surfaces.

Options for personalising your build

There are many upgrade parts available to change gearing, responsiveness or appearance. The independent double-wishbone suspension with friction dampers makes incremental adjustments straightforward for those who like to refine handling.

The Tamiya 58427 Fiat 500 RC Kit is a compact, customisable model that suits hobbyists who enjoy painting, minor tuning and collecting classic car replicas.

Yes, the polycarbonate body accepts flexible paints designed for lexan, so you can create accurate period colours or modern custom schemes.
Many standard parts for the M-03M chassis and Fiat 500 body panels are available from hobby suppliers, making repairs straightforward.
Adjusting tyre inserts, tweaking the friction dampers and experimenting with tyre compound are good first steps to sharpen turn-in and reduce understeer.
