Tamiya 58461 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V WRC DF-03Ra 1/10 Chassis Kit  [58461]

Classic Rally Model: Tamiya 58461 Evo V

The Lancer Evolution V played a key role in late 1990s rallying and helped secure major WRC titles in 1998 with driver Tommi Makinen. The Evo V remains a popular subject for scale rally replicas due to its iconic silhouette and rally success.

Overview of the DF-03Ra Chassis

The kit recreates the Evo V in 1/10 scale using resilient polycarbonate to mimic the wide fenders and big rear wing. The DF-03Ra platform uses a shaft-driven 4WD system that lends the model balance and steady traction across rough and smooth surfaces.

Powertrain and Suspension Features

Equipped with the DF-03 drivetrain, the model includes front and rear ball differentials to manage power distribution. The suspension provides significant travel for stage impacts and the factory rally tyres improve grip on loose surfaces.

Personalisation and Performance Tweaks

Enthusiasts can adjust rear arm positions for wheelbase changes and use threaded upper shafts to set camber precisely. The kit includes a type 540 motor plus a selection of gear ratios, giving flexibility to tune acceleration or top speed.

The Tamiya 58461 is suitable for hobbyists who enjoy building and setting up rally models, offering a faithful Evo V body and a configurable DF-03Ra chassis that invites modest upgrades and tuning.
