Abarth 500 Assetto Corse Tamiya 58444 M-05 1/10 Kit  [58444]

Introducing the Tamiya 58444 Abarth 500 Assetto Corse

The Tamiya 58444 captures the compact spirit of the Fiat 500 in a scale model, marrying accurate exterior detail with an approachable M-05 chassis. The real car's sporty background and 197 horsepower character are reflected in a front-wheel-drive kit that is both satisfying to build and fun to drive around local circuits.

M-05 Platform Features

The M-05 chassis is prized for its compact footprint and balanced weight layout, courtesy of a monocoque-styled frame. With the servo, receiver and ESC arranged toward the rear, the model benefits from a lower centre of gravity and improved traction. The three-part tie-rod steering gives predictable turn-in for club days and street practice.

Scale Detail and Personalisation

This Assetto Corse body is moulded in polycarbonate with supplied race mirrors and a rear spoiler for an authentic race-ready look. Builders can fit optional LED lighting via the polycarbonate light cases to light up evening runs. Chrome-style decal pieces add a finishing touch while the TEU-104BK ESC and type 540 motor handle routine performance demands.

Who Will Enjoy This Kit

The Tamiya 58444 kit suits newcomers and experienced modellers alike; it needs a 2-channel transmitter, a 6-cell battery pack and a suitable charger, which are not included. Its clear instructions and sensible component layout make setup and maintenance straightforward.

For scale fidelity and easy handling in a small package, the Tamiya 58444 Abarth 500 Assetto Corse makes a smart addition to an RC collection or a first proper kit build.
