Iconic 1998 MP4/13 Recreated in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 58235 RC McLaren Mercedes MP4/13 recreates the distinctive look of the 1998 Formula 1 car in accurate 1/10 scale. The kit merges authentic styling with the practical F103RS chassis to satisfy both model collectors and on-track drivers.

Chassis That Rewards Tuning

The F103RS half-double deck design keeps weight low and balance neutral. Together with a high-precision ball differential, the chassis responds well to setup changes, making it simple to dial in cornering balance.

Detailed Polycarbonate Body and Fitment

The clear polycarbonate body reflects the MP4/13 silhouette and race-specific fittings. Reinforced slick tyres fitted with an aramid fiber belt give strong wear resistance and reliable grip during spirited driving.

Suspension Layout and Track Performance

Independent left and right front suspension plus a 3-point rear arrangement with a friction damper produce nimble handling suited to technical circuits. Central servo placement for the steering helps keep steering feel direct and consistent.

Tamiya 58235 is an attractive choice for modellers wanting a historic F1 replica that also delivers adjustable handling on the track. Its clear body and proven chassis are ideal for customization and racing.

Assembly time varies by experience, but most hobbyists complete the build over several focused evenings, allowing time for trimming and painting.
Choose a mid to high torque digital servo with good speed to keep steering precise, especially on technical tracks where quick input is needed.
LiPo packs can be used if they fit the chassis layout and the ESC you choose supports LiPo chemistry; always secure the battery to prevent movement.
