Tamiya 58529 Toyota 86 1/10 TT-01E Scale Chassis Kit  [58529]

Scaled Toyota 86 with Authentic Lines

First seen at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show and launched globally in 2012, the Toyota 86 remains a favourite among driving enthusiasts. Tamiya captures that character in the Tamiya 58529 kit, pairing the sportscar body with the TT-01 Type-E chassis for a true-to-scale on-road model.

Handling from the TT-01 Type-E Platform

The TT-01 Type-E offers a 4WD shaft drive that brings stability and consistent handling on sealed surfaces. The chassis uses fully independent double wishbone suspension and a bell-crank steering system for precise wheel control, while friction dampers and radial rubber tyres help keep the model planted through corners.

Detailed ABS Bodywork

The Tamiya 58529 features an ABS plastic body that reproduces the Toyota 86 profile and stance. Lighting components are not part of the kit, but owners can add plated wheels and cosmetic bits to personalise the finish without altering the model's faithful silhouette.

Build Advice and Required Items

Builders should note the kit leaves some items to supply: a 7.2V battery, charger, transmitter/receiver, steering servo, and polycarbonate paint for the body shell. Ride height and gear ratio can be adjusted to suit driving style, while camber and toe settings are fixed for predictable setup.

The Tamiya 58529 - 1/10 RC Toyota 86 TT-01E Chassis Kit is well suited to hobbyists who want a realistic on-road model with straightforward assembly and room for modest upgrades.
