Tamiya 43512 Ford Focus RS WRC 2003 RTR Nitro Rally Replica  [43512]

Scaled Rally Engineering and Presence

The Ford Focus RS WRC 2003 is a rally standout and Tamiya reproduces that character in the 43512 RTR model. This 1/10 scale car uses the TGS chassis and a nitro FS-12SS engine to replicate the performance and silhouette of the competition car campaigned at events such as the Acropolis and Finland, driven by M. Martin.

Chassis Construction and Engine Notes

The TGS chassis pairs a resin monocoque with an aluminium die-cast power train deck to deliver a robust yet balanced platform. An Active Cooling System is included to help control engine heat. The FS-12SS 2.11cc nitro motor supplies authentic combustion power suited to rally driving.

Handling Traits and Power Delivery

Precision handling comes from the 4-wheel double wishbone suspension which maintains tyre contact over varied surfaces. The shaft-driven 4WD provides consistent traction and the three-bevel differential arrangement smooths power through turns. The Tamiya Expec transmitter gives sharp steering and throttle feel.

Authentic Bodywork and Stability

Scale aerodynamics are faithfully reproduced, with extended body sections and a larger rear wing to aid stability at speed. The racing radial tyre pattern helps the car stick to many surfaces while preserving the rally aesthetic.

The Tamiya 43512 RTR Ford Focus RS WRC 2003 is a faithful rally replica that pairs durable construction with nitro power and precise handling for hobbyists who enjoy realistic driving dynamics.
