Tamiya 58444 Abarth 500 Assetto Corse M-05 1/10 Collector Kit  [58444]

Snapshot of the Tamiya 58444 Abarth 500 Assetto Corse

The Tamiya 58444 translates the compact, race-orientated Abarth 500 into a 1/10 scale RC kit, pairing authentic bodywork with the nimble M-05 chassis. The model channels the performance image of the road car, while offering a front-wheel-drive layout that is approachable for most hobbyists.

Why the M-05 Works Here

The M-05 chassis delivers a compact, well-balanced package thanks to its monocoque-like frame. Locating the servo, receiver and ESC toward the rear helps lower the centre of mass and bolsters traction. A three-piece tie-rod steering link keeps steering crisp for quick corrections and tight apexes.

Authentic Looks and Mod Choices

The polycarbonate body captures the Assetto Corse styling, and the kit includes racing mirrors plus a rear spoiler for a realistic appearance. Builders can fit LEDs using the supplied light case components to add night-time detail. Chrome-effect decals are included and the type 540 motor with TEU-104BK ESC offers reliable everyday performance.

Assembly and Use

Whether you are new to kits or have built before, the Tamiya 58444 is laid out for a straightforward build. You will need a 2-channel radio, a 6-cell battery pack and an appropriate charger, which are available separately.

The Tamiya 58444 Abarth 500 Assetto Corse is a great pick if you want a compact, detailed racer that handles predictably and responds well to simple upgrades.
