Tamiya 58220 Mobil 1 NSX: Classic GT Model with TA03R Chassis

The Tamiya 58220 RC Mobil 1 NSX recreates a period GT racer at 1/10 scale, combining authentic liveries with the TA03R chassis layout. It is aimed at modelers who prize both presentation and driving feel.

Chassis Construction and Drive System

Featuring the TA03R monocoque tub and an ABS structure, the kit uses a belt-driven four-wheel-drive arrangement for smooth torque transfer. Included gearboxes at both ends boost resilience under load.

SUSPENSION SETUP FOR CONTROL

The car runs independent wishbone suspension on each corner, matched to Type-A racing slicks and extended rear axles supplied in the kit. This arrangement improves cornering stability and allows setup changes.

Replica of a Racing Icon

The Mobil 1 NSX model nods to the car's success in late 1990s Japanese GT racing, showing aerodynamic traits of the era. The Tamiya kit reproduces these cues while keeping assembly straightforward.

Bodywork and Livery Reproduction

A clear lexan body and a comprehensive decal sheet reproduce the PIAA race colours accurately. Builders can either display the finished shell or prepare it for track use after painting.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: TA03R

The Tamiya 58220 is well suited to hobbyists who want a race-accurate kit on a chassis that reacts predictably to setup and upgrades.

Standard modelling tools such as side cutters, hobby knife, small screwdrivers and hex drivers are sufficient; a set of fine files helps for clean assembly.
Yes, the TA03R can accept brushless motors and modern ESCs, but check motor size and pinion clearance to protect the gearboxes.
Tamiya supplies replacement parts for common wear items; keeping spares for belts and driveline parts is recommended for frequent track use.
Trim and test fit first, then mask the outside of clear lexan if you plan to paint the outside. Many builders paint the inside using polycarbonate paints for durability.
