The Tamiya 58544 - 1/10 RC Nissan R390 GT1 (TT-01E) captures the essence of a Le Mans legend in a hobby-friendly package. Modeled after the 1997 endurance car that used a carbon composite monocoque and a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V8, this scale kit aims to balance authenticity with straightforward assembly.
The TT-01E is favoured for its clear build steps and reliable drivetrain. The shaft-driven 4WD layout provides predictable handling, while oil-filled dampers and independent double wishbone suspension help the model track well on smooth circuits.
Paint the included clear polycarbonate body to recreate race colors or your own scheme. Radial rubber tyres contribute to a realistic stance and usable grip. Remember that the kit requires a 7.2V battery, charger, radio gear, servo and receiver to be complete, though the ESC is supplied.
This model suits collectors who want a display-worthy item and racers who appreciate adjustable ride height and gear ratio options for tailoring performance at the track.
Tamiya 58544 combines historic race car aesthetics with practical engineering, making it a rewarding build for those who enjoy painting, setup and occasional track use.
