Model collectors and club racers will recognise the Tamiya 57771 Eclipse Advan Lexus SC430 as a faithful nod to the Lexus entries from the 2007 Super GT series run by Toyota Team Tsuchiya. The drivers Takeshi Tsuchiya and Manabu Orido helped make the car memorable with its distinctive red, silver and white paint and Eclipse branding.
The TT-01 platform underpins stable handling and straightforward maintenance. The shaft-driven 4WD layout delivers even power all around while the bathtub chassis offers basic protection for the drivetrain. Four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with coil springs helps keep the model composed through corners.
The polycarbonate body is supplied fully finished to match the race aerodynamic lines while remaining resilient during track use. A broad selection of hop-up parts is available for those who want to change motor, gearing or suspension components.
With its ready-to-run layout and scope for upgrades, the car is a solid pick for club meets and hobbyists who want a tidy, race-style model without a long build time.
