Inspecting the Tamiya 58434 Calsonic IMPUL GT-R

The Tamiya 58434 Calsonic IMPUL GT-R 2008 reproduces a standout Super GT car in 1/10 scale, offering hobbyists a faithful model of Team Impul's machine. This TB-03 based kit delivers period race styling and a chassis known for adjustability on asphalt circuits.

Frame Layout and Airflow Features

The tub-style frame includes a built-in motor cooling duct to help control temperatures under hard running. With in-board front suspension and horizontally mounted dampers, the body can sit low for cleaner airflow, while the shell also fits TA05-IFS configurations for alternate setups.

Durable Motor Mount and Running Gear

The one-piece aluminum motor mount simplifies alignment and gear access, easing maintenance between sessions. Front and rear ball diffs combined with reversible short suspension parts and TRF416 knuckles provide a stable platform for fine tuning handling balance.

Finishing the Build

Included are the polycarbonate body, wheels, tyres, and a Type 540 motor; you will need to supply an ESC, a 2-channel radio, a battery pack, and a charger. This lets builders pick electronics that match their driving style and track conditions.

Tamiya 58434 Calsonic IMPUL GT-R 2008 TB-03 is a good match for modders who want authentic race looks combined with a chassis that responds well to setup changes.

A careful build will typically take several evenings depending on experience; painting the body and dialing in gear mesh adds extra time.
The included Type 540 is fine for club use, but many racers upgrade to brushless power for higher speed and efficiency on modern circuits.
Popular upgrades include aluminium option parts for rigidity, a brushless conversion, and improved dampers to sharpen handling.
Yes, LiPo packs can be used if the ESC and battery tray clearances are suitable; ensure proper mounting and voltage compatibility with your motor and ESC.
Mask carefully to protect details and test paint on scrap polycarbonate first; thin coats prevent runs and help keep panel lines crisp.
