Tamiya 58504 Audi R8 LMS - Scale Detail for Hobby Racers

The Audi R8 LMS proved itself in long distance racing, and this 1/10 scale Tamiya 58504 captures the car's aerodynamic profile and on-track presence. The kit includes accurate external parts and a decal set so builders can reproduce authentic liveries with crisp graphics and trim.

Overview of the TT-01 Type-E Chassis

The TT-01 Type-E serves as a straightforward, robust base with a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system that keeps traction predictable. The bathtub frame keeps heavy components low, while a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck helps reduce flex. Steering link geometry is improved with a 3-piece tie rod and the layout uses front and rear differential gears to balance cornering behaviour.

Scale-Correct Components and Performance

Radial racing tyres with realistic tread are mounted on black dish wheels to complete the appearance. The dimensions are 434mm length, 194mm width, and 122mm height with a 257mm wheelbase. The kit comes with a Type 540 motor; you will need to add an electronic speed controller to run the car.

With accurate styling and a dependable TT-01 Type-E platform, the Tamiya 58504 Audi R8 LMS appeals to hobbyists who want a realistic replica that can be tuned for club-level competition.
