Tamiya 58228 1/10 Ford Mustang Cobra R TL-01 Chassis Kit - Track Friendly  [58228]

Scale Mustang Cobra R from Tamiya

The Ford Mustang Cobra R remains a benchmark of raw styling and road bias. Tamiya captures that character in a compact 1/10 package on the TL-01 chassis to give hobbyists an accurate model and a satisfying build sequence.

Key features of the TL-01 chassis

The TL-01 is engineered for predictable on-road behaviour, relying on a shaft driven 4WD system to balance power delivery. The independent double wishbone suspension keeps handling responsive, and the included 540-brushed motor provides steady, familiar performance for club sessions and casual track days.

Shell, detail and finishing tips

The clear polycarbonate body faithfully reflects the Cobra R silhouette and is well suited to layering paint and decals. Its sculpted lines and rear wing recreate the track-oriented look, and careful trimming plus mask work will produce authentic results.

Setting up and personalising

Adjustable gearing and ride height let you tune the TL-01 to suit different surfaces and driving styles. The standard wheelbase and track give a predictable balance, and radial rubber tyres offer consistent grip. Replacing the mechanical ESC with a compact electronic unit is a common upgrade for smoother control.

The Tamiya 58228 Ford Mustang Cobra R delivers a good mix of period styling and chassis tuneability. Its straightforward layout makes it a useful base for both display builds and light competition use.
