Tamiya 58454 1/10 Honda S800 Racing M-05 Kit  [58454]

Miniature Motoring History: The S800 Story

Honda stepped into the small sports car scene in the 1960s and introduced the S800 in 1965 as a lightweight performer. With a high revving engine around 70hp and a curb weight near 710kg, the little S800 could reach about 160km/h. Tamiya captures that classic profile in this accurate 1/10 scale replica for hobby enthusiasts.

Balanced Chassis for Controlled Cornering

The Tamiya 58454 - 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing rides on the M-05 chassis, recognised for its agility and predictable steering. The polycarbonate body mirrors the original silhouette while the monocoque frame concentrates mass low in the model, improving stability through corners and quick transitions.

Tuning Routes and Optional Parts

If you want more from the car, consider options like the M-Chassis Aluminum Damper Set or M-05 Aluminum Front and Rear Uprights to stiffen suspension points. The M-05 Ball Bearing Set and Titanium Screw Set are handy upgrades to reduce friction and increase component life.

Tamiya 58454 - 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing suits model builders who value scale accuracy and chassis tuning. The M-05 base provides a good mix of handling and upgrade potential for both show and track use.
