Released by Tamiya on September 12, 2012, based on the 2WD FF-03 Chassis, this self assembly Radio Controlled Model, is of the 1996/1997 Honda production car, the Accord Aero Custom.
The Lexan polycarbonate body shell, provided in the kit, is an accurately realistic representation of the original. An ESC, Battery, Charger, Radio Equipment and paint must be purchased separately.
The Front Mounted Motor, Front Wheel Drive FF-03 has a slim bathtub type frame chassis design, where the stick battery is mounted longitudinally on the centre line of the chassis, allowing for the radio receiver, electronic speed controller and steering servo to be positioned either side to provide for excellent balance.
Three wheelbase settings for the chassis are achievable (257mm, 245mm, 233mm) by changing rear section assembly.
The compact gearbox of the FF-03 contains a pressure plate ball differential unit, which combined with the 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, coil spring over oil filled shock absorbers and bell-crank steering mechanism, make the FF-03 fun to drive.
To get the best from the Tamiya FF-03 Chassis, it needs to be fine tuned to hug the corners at high speed, without slipping off the track. Small adjustments can make a Big difference and our simple to understand, step by step procedure, will guide you to the best Set-up for your driving style.

Hints, Tips and Information
Rubber Tires for RC Models
Rubber Tires ALWAYS should have either soft sponge or rubber inserts. They will not function as they should without them. And if you are totally serious about your racing they should be glued to the rims. How to Mount Rubber Tires onto Wheels/Rims.
Before mounting your Tires, I would recommend talking to the more experienced racers at your local club, concerning what inserts they use. Even the top level racers rely on a bit of local knowledge on tracks they have never raced before. |
Hints, Tips and Information
Dampers
Dampers, Shock Absorbers, Shocks - call them what you will, they are one of the least understood, but most important tools you have for adjusting the handling characteristics of your RC model.
So how do Dampers work?
Basically what you have is a small amount of silicone oil contained in a sealed cylinder. Through the centre of that cylinder is a metal rod, and on the end of that rod, a piston with a number of small holes in it. Pulling, or pushing the rod in and out of the cylinder, your will notice a certain amount of resistance as the oil is forced through the holes in the piston. |
