Classic WRC Styling on a User-Friendly Chassis

The Tamiya 58292 Ford Focus RS WRC replicates the 2002 rally car driven by Carlos Sainz and places it on the TL-01 chassis. As a 1/10 scale kit it blends period-correct looks with a chassis layout that is approachable for hobbyists refining their build and setup skills.

TL-01 Chassis: Practical and Durable

Built around a monocoque ABS frame, the TL-01 offers a durable base for on-road driving. The 4WD shaft drive gives balanced traction while independent suspension keeps the car stable through corners, making it a solid platform for street and track use.

Detailed Polycarbonate Shell

The polycarbonate body is shaped to mirror the Focus RS WRC stance and aero details. When painted and fitted with the included 10-spoke wheels and slick tyres, the model presents a convincing rally appearance that looks good on display or during club runs.

Upgrade Paths for Improved Performance

Owners can enhance the Tamiya 58292 with commonly available hop-up parts such as upgraded gear sets, stabilizers and adjustable arms to refine handling and drivetrain strength for more demanding driving.

With its mix of period styling and the adaptable TL-01 platform, the Tamiya 58292 Ford Focus RS WRC is a rewarding kit for builders who enjoy painting, setup and incremental upgrades.

Basic checks include cleaning gear mesh, inspecting universal joints, and ensuring screws remain tight after several runs to keep drivetrain and suspension reliable.
Upgrades like longer suspension arms, adjustable upper links and stiffer stabilizers can noticeably sharpen steering response and stability on smooth surfaces.
The TL-01 is tuned for on-road use; while it can handle light gravel, renters should fit appropriate tyres and protect electronics if running off-road regularly.
