Classic Compact Performance Recreated

During the 1960s Honda expanded into sports cars and the S800, released in 1965, showcased their engineering in a small package. The roadster and coupe used a high revving engine that made about 70hp and propelled the 710kg car toward 160km/h. Tamiya brings that compact sporting character into a 1/10 scale RC kit for model drivers who like authentic detail.

M-05 Chassis Focused on Agility

The Tamiya 58454 - 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing uses the M-05 chassis for its responsive handling and predictable steering. The polycarbonate body captures the S800 look while the monocoque frame improves balance by lowering the centre of gravity, which helps during quick direction changes.

Practical Upgrades for Club Racing

To sharpen performance, add parts like the M-Chassis Aluminum Damper Set or the M-05 Aluminum Front and Rear Uprights to reduce flex. The M-05 Ball Bearing Set and Titanium Screw Set are sensible upgrades to increase drivetrain efficiency and durability under frequent running.

The Tamiya 58454 - 1/10 RC Honda S800 Racing is well suited to hobbyists who enjoy accurate scale kits and chassis tuning. Its robust M-05 platform makes it a reliable base for both polished displays and track practice.

Basic modelling tools like hobby cutters, screwdrivers, and a small file set are enough. A modelling knife and fine sandpaper help with polycarbonate trimming and paint preparation.
Choose tyres rated for the surface type. Harder compounds suit high grip outdoor asphalt, while softer tyres work better on low grip surfaces. Balance tyre choice with suspension setup.
Yes, many users upgrade to brushless systems for more power. Ensure your ESC and battery match the motor specifications and allow for any necessary mounting adjustments.
Polycarbonate bodies are usually painted on the inside with polycarbonate specific paints. Preparing masks and thinning paint as recommended will give the best finish and protect the shell during handling.
