Tamiya 58494 Honda CR-Z TT-01E Scale RC Model  [58494]

Miniature Hybrid Cruiser: Tamiya 58494 Honda CR-Z on TT-01E

The Tamiya 58494 Honda CR-Z reproduces the compact hybrid coupe at 1/10 scale on the TT-01E platform. Its shaft-driven 4WD and double wishbone suspension deliver composed behaviour on varied surfaces, making it a dependable build for hobby workshops.

Stable Chassis with Practical Setup

The TT-01E is praised for straightforward setup and consistent handling traits. The gear differentials manage drive split across four wheels while the stock plastic bushings keep costs down; many builders choose to fit ball bearings to reduce rolling resistance and extend service life.

Bodywork and Scale Finish

The model uses a polycarbonate body trimmed with vinyl stickers and includes separate side mirrors for a more accurate silhouette. Narrow radial tyres sit on silver wheels with a +2 offset, giving the car a refined, scale-correct look.

Powertrain and Personalisation

This kit comes with a Tamiya 540 brushed motor as standard, leaving room to tailor the drive system to your style. Early runs included blue-plated wheels as a bonus part, and lighting is left to the builder to add if preferred.

The Tamiya 58494 Honda CR-Z TT-01E is well suited to builders who enjoy tidy scale detailing and sensible upgrades. It works well as a display piece or as a platform for modest performance improvements and customisation.
