MR-S GT Bodywork Rendered for Scale Racing

The Toyota MR-S made a name for itself with nimble handling in GT competition, and Tamiya recreates that character in the 1/10 Toyota MR-S Racing (TA04-SS). The shell features a hardtop profile, pronounced fender forms and a sizable rear wing that reflect the full-size aerodynamic look.

TA04-SS Platform: Built for Responsive Cornering

Derived from the TA04-S, the TA04-SS tightens the wheelbase by 10mm to sharpen turn response. The layout uses tuned suspension arms and a double wishbone arrangement to keep the chassis stable while encouraging quick directional changes.

Powertrain and Suspension Notes

The midship belt-driven full-time 4WD layout spreads drive to all wheels for steady traction. CVA Mini II shock absorbers provide damping control across varied surfaces, and adjustable caster and toe let you tailor handling to driving style.

Tamiya 58290 Toyota MR-S Racing (TA04-SS) is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy precision setup and scale GT presentation. The chassis offers tunability for track-focused drivers.

Assembly follows a detailed manual; builders with basic modelling skills can complete it, though attention is needed when routing the belt and setting up the suspension geometry.
The belt-driven midship 4WD is robust for club use when maintained. Regular checks on belt tension and bearings will help prevent wear during repeated sessions.
Tyres matching the listed tread of 162mm front and rear work well; narrow touring tyres or slicks for track work are common choices depending on surface grip.
Yes, the kit includes 24 full ball bearings which reduce drivetrain friction and improve rolling efficiency across the gear train and wheel hubs.
