Tamiya 58461 1/10 DF-03Ra Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V WRC Replica Kit  [58461]

Heritage Replica: Tamiya 58461 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V

The Lancer Evolution has a strong rally pedigree, and the Evo V is notable for its 1998 World Rally Championship success under driver Tommi Makinen. That season helped define the Evo V as a competitive rally machine.

DF-03Ra Chassis Overview

The Tamiya 58461 models the Evo V in durable polycarbonate, reproducing the flared bodywork and substantial rear wing. Its DF-03Ra chassis uses a shaft-driven 4WD design to provide dependable traction and predictable handling across varying terrain.

Drive Components and Suspension Traits

This kit uses the DF-03 drivetrain with ball differentials front and rear to smooth power delivery. The suspension is tuned for generous travel to cope with stage bumps and jumps, and the supplied rally tyres help with grip on loose surfaces.

Adjustable Setup for Tuning

Owners can alter wheelbase and camber using the adjustable rear arms and threaded upper shafts. The package includes a type 540 motor and multiple gearing options, allowing drivers to adjust acceleration and top speed to suit local tracks.

Tamiya 58461 is a solid choice for model rally fans who want a realistic Evo V body on an adaptable DF-03Ra chassis. It suits hobbyists who enjoy setup work and modest tuning projects.
