Race-styled Abarth 500 Assetto Corse in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 57798 RC RTR Abarth 500 Assetto Corse captures the compact, aggressive look of the Assetto Corse edition in a ready-to-run package. With a tough polycarbonate shell and distinctive livery, this model balances visual accuracy with everyday usability for club days and street practice.

M-05 Chassis Balance and Simplicity

The M-05 semi-monocoque resin chassis keeps the car light and makes assembly and servicing easy. Placing the gearbox, motor, battery, receiver, servo, and ESC in a compact layout achieves a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution, which improves corner stability at speed.

Handling That Rewards Setup

Four independent double wishbone suspension arms and a 3-piece steering linkage provide crisp responses to steering inputs. The 60D radial tyres on 11-spoke wheels are chosen for predictable traction on sealed surfaces, giving confident feedback through turns and during acceleration.

Tamiya 57798 is suitable for hobbyists of all levels who want a compact, race-inspired RTR that is easy to run and adjustable for improved lap times.

A low center of gravity reduces body roll and helps the tyres maintain contact during cornering, making the car more stable and easier to place on entry and exit.
The 60D radial tyres are best on smooth sealed surfaces; they provide reliable grip for street practice and circuit running but are not intended for loose dirt or gravel.
Yes, the layout allows for aftermarket ESCs and radios, but check dimensions and connectors to ensure straightforward installation.
Minimal trimming may be needed for wheel clearance or ride height adjustments, depending on tyre choice and driving surface.
Check gear mesh, clean debris from the chassis, inspect tyres for wear, and confirm all screws are tight to keep the car running reliably.
