Tamiya 58264 Castrol Tom's Supra 2000 Retro Race Kit  [58264]

Castrol Tom's Supra 2000: a race icon for model builders

For fans of authentic on-road replicas, the Tamiya 58264 - 1/10 Castrol Tom's Supra 2000 captures the style and racing heritage of the original GT machine. Driven by Sekiya and Tsuchiya, the full-size Supra was noted for balance and reliability, traits echoed in this scale kit.

Benefits of the TL-01 underpinnings

The TL-01 chassis is valued for its toughness and clean build path, a good match for those starting out or refining their setup. Its monocoque-like construction helps maintain stiffness while the four-wheel independent double wishbone layout gives predictable cornering behaviour.

Build notes and performance highlights

Tamiya 58264 includes a 540 Type motor to provide steady speed for club sessions. The clear polycarbonate body aids aero performance and paint customisation, and the 257mm wheelbase with a 7.96:1 gear ratio is tuned for balanced acceleration and handling.

The Tamiya 58264 Castrol Tom's Supra 2000 suits modellers who want a period-accurate kit that also performs well on the track. It is a satisfying project for paint, trim and setup tuning.
