The Tamiya 58212 recreates the Peugeot 406 ST in 1/10 scale, reproducing the car's lines and proportion in a race-ready shell. The TL01 chassis underpinning this kit offers a straightforward, serviceable layout favoured by many club drivers.
The TL01 chassis uses a central shaft to power all four wheels, which helps with predictable traction on mixed surfaces. Double wishbone suspension at both ends works with coil spring dampers to give a stable, tunable ride while the polycarbonate monocoque keeps weight low.
The kit is set up around a standard 540 electric motor size, delivering lively on-track performance when matched with suitable gearing. The race-style tyres and accurate polycarbonate body give an authentic Peugeot 406 ST appearance when finished.
This is a full assembly kit that includes the Tamiya TEU-101BK ESC but requires a 7.2V battery and radio gear purchased separately. Builders can select batteries and servos to suit their weight and handling preferences.
The Tamiya 58212 TL01 Peugeot 406 ST is well suited to modellers who enjoy hands-on builds and want a platform that responds well to setup changes and minor upgrades.
