Compact classic for the RC workshop

Renowned for precise kits, Tamiya presents the Tamiya 58427 - 1/10 RC Fiat 500 - M03M as a compact-scale project that reproduces the Fiat 500 silhouette while providing a stable, tunable platform for club or casual runs.

A brief look at the model's heritage

The Fiat 500 started life as an efficient city car and has since become a beloved classic. This model reflects that lineage, capturing the small proportions and simple charm that make the car recognisable at a glance.

M-03M chassis and front-wheel drive traits

The M-03M chassis houses a front-mounted Type 540 motor driving the front wheels for straightforward handling and linear acceleration. The kit's rubber tyres with sponge inners help maintain traction on sealed surfaces and community tracks.

Upgrade paths and hobby appeal

From performance gears to steering enhancements, the Fiat 500 kit supports a range of Grade-Up parts. The independent double-wishbone suspension with friction dampers gives a clear starting point for setup changes aimed at improving balance and responsiveness.

The Tamiya 58427 Fiat 500 RC Kit is well suited to modelers who want a period-correct body with a dependable chassis that supports performance and cosmetic upgrades.

Small steps in pinion or spur changes can increase top speed without overstressing the drivetrain; check motor temperatures and ESC limits after each change.
The supplied TEU-101BK is a brushed ESC; switching to a brushless system requires a compatible motor and an ESC rated for brushless setups and the chassis mounting points.
Soft compound slicks or tuned tread patterns with appropriate sponge inserts provide more grip on sealed club tracks compared with the stock treaded tyres.
Check pivot points and friction dampers after every few sessions; light cleaning and a small amount of lubricant will keep movement smooth.
Body swaps are possible if you choose shells that clear the chassis layout and steering geometry, but trimming and mounting adjustments are usually required.
