Classic Rally Recreated: Tamiya 58278 Lancia 037 RA

The Tamiya 58278 Lancia 037 RA brings an iconic 1980s rally car into 1/10 scale, echoing the Group B era. The roadgoing Lancia combined a Sergio Pininfarina fiberglass reinforced resin body with a supercharged unit capable of over 300 horsepower, and this kit mirrors that heritage in model form.

Detailed Styling and Accessories

The kit captures the Lancia 037 RA look, from the unique four-lamp nose to the included driver and co-driver miniatures and rally decal set, giving a convincing stage-ready appearance.

Drive Efficiency and Chassis Strength

Mounted on the TA-03R, the model benefits from a belt-driven full-time 4WD and a rigid FRP bathtub frame. Nine ball bearings in the gearboxes cut friction and help the model deliver efficient power transfer to the wheels.

Handling Setup for Rally Use

A four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, matched with effective dampers, provides balanced control when cornering and accelerating. Semi-slick tyres help maintain consistent traction on tarmac surfaces.

How should I prepare the resin body for painting?

Wash the shell with mild detergent, sand light imperfections, and use primer suited to resin before applying paint for an even finish.

Is the kit ready to run out of the box?

It is a kit that requires assembly and separate electronics; you will need a motor, ESC, servo, receiver and battery to run.

What maintenance should I do after running?

Clean the drivetrain, check bearing condition, and inspect suspension linkages for wear after each session to keep performance consistent.

Can I move to a brushless setup later?

Converting to brushless is possible but may require a motor mount or adapter and a suitable brushless ESC; check clearance under the body.

What tyres are best for mixed surfaces?

For mixed surfaces choose tyres with a semi-slick centre and shallow siping at the edges to balance grip and predictability.
