Revisiting the Icon: Tamiya's Honda Ballade Sports Mugen CR-X Pro

In the realm of RC cars, few models capture the essence of a bygone era like the Tamiya 58503 Honda Ballade Sports Mugen CR-X Pro. This 1/10 scale kit pays homage to Honda's legendary 1980s FWD compact sports car. Known for its agility and distinctive styling, the real-life Mugen CR-X was a staple at Japanese racetracks, often serving as a pace car. It was revered for its racing modifications by Mugen, which included unique fenders, a front air dam, and a rear spoiler.
