1996 Accord Aero Custom in Scale - Tamiya 58540

The Tamiya 58540 kit recreates the 1996 Honda Accord Aero Custom at 1/10 scale for modelers who appreciate authentic touring car styling. The FF-03 chassis provides a front-wheel-drive setup that matches the real car's driving feel on smooth surfaces.

Chassis Design and Road Feel

Designed for FWD layouts, the FF-03 features a fully independent double wishbone suspension with oil-filled dampers to give predictable steering and controlled damping. The chassis is well suited to street-style and club track environments.

Finish Details and Tunability

The clear polycarbonate body accepts paint and decals for an accurate period look, and the included sticker set enhances trim detail. The standard 540-brushed motor and rubber tyres deliver reliable on-road performance, while adjustable ride height and gearing allow simple tuning for different surfaces.

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive-train: 2WD FWD
  • Suspension: Fully independent double wishbone
  • Motor type: 540-brushed
  • Body material: Polycarbonate
  • Bearing type: Shielded ball bearing

The Tamiya 58540 Honda Accord Aero Custom combines classic styling with a tunable FF-03 chassis, making it a rewarding project for builders wanting a true-to-life front-wheel-drive touring model.

Inspect suspension pivot points and drive components, check gear mesh, and top up or replace worn tyres to keep handling consistent after break-in runs.
The kit specifies shielded ball bearings; verify which bearings are included and consider upgrading to higher quality bearings for smoother operation.
You can adjust camber and ride height to refine cornering balance, but make small changes and test progressively to find the best setup for your track.
Brushless conversions are possible but require checking motor mount and pinion compatibility as well as selecting a suitable ESC and battery to match the chassis layout.
