Tamiya 58506 TA-06 Ferrari 599XX RC Chassis Kit  [58506]

TA-06 Evolution and Its Ferrari 599XX Body

Building on Tamiya roots that began with the TA-01 in 1992, the TA-06 reflects modern touring car thinking from the TRF team. It is engineered to improve mass centralisation and balance, especially when paired with lighter batteries and brushless motor systems for improved cornering.

Belt Front, Gear Rear Drive Concept

The TA-06 uses a dual-drive configuration with a belt-driven front section and gear-driven rear to manage power delivery efficiently. A monocoque-style frame keeps the motor and battery near the centerline for neutral handling. You can run either inboard front suspension or standard outboard arms depending on the body you choose.

Why the Ferrari 599XX Became the Chassis Inspiration

The Ferrari 599XX was launched as a track-focused evolution of Ferrari technology. Its 5,999cc V12 produces about 700 horsepower and it employs the ACTIFLOW concept to create downforce without adding drag. Tamiya captures that aggressive track character in scale form for modelers.

Upgrade Paths and Cross Compatibility

The TA-06 accepts many parts from earlier models like the TA-05, such as steering components and optional aluminium mounts, allowing detailed setup changes. Battery choices include NiCd, NiMh, LiFe and LiPo so you can match endurance or sprint race needs.

Tamiya 58506 Ferrari 599XX TA-06 chassis kit suits modellers who value a race-derived platform with room to tune. It balances historic Tamiya engineering with options for competitive setup work.
