Tamiya 58542 - 1/10 Scale Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII TT-01E Kit  [58542]

Miniature Rally Star in Scale

Introduced in 2001, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII became a rally icon thanks to its 280hp turbocharged engine and a sophisticated electronically controlled 4WD system. The Evo VII also crossed into mainstream interest via racing video game exposure, helping it gain a following among performance car fans.

Overview of the TT-01E Platform

The TT-01E is designed for dependable on-road performance and straightforward construction. Its shaft driven 4WD layout delivers composed traction on sealed surfaces, while independent double wishbone suspension and oil filled shocks give predictable handling for both practice runs and casual track sessions.

Painting and Completing the Kit

The clear polycarbonate body included in the kit is ready for polycarbonate paints so you can copy authentic liveries or create a unique finish. Required extras include a 7.2V battery pack, a charger, radio gear, a servo and a receiver, providing a satisfying build that also teaches essential RC components.

For modellers who enjoy a balance of scale authenticity and a forgiving drive setup, the Tamiya Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII on the TT-01E is a rewarding project with room for paint and electronics upgrades.
