Tamiya 58694 GR86 1/10 Scale TT-02 Assembly Kit  [58694]

Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 TT-02 Kit Overview

The Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 reproduces the essence of Toyota's compact sports car in a 1/10 R/C format. The road car is recognised for its light weight and balanced handling, featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive arrangement that debuted in April 2021. With a low center of gravity and motorsport-derived styling, the production GR86 runs a 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine producing 235 horsepower and uses aluminium for the hood, roof and front wings.

What the TT-02 Chassis Brings

The TT-02 chassis is the basis for this model, supplying a shaft-driven 4WD layout and a longitudinal setup with the battery to the left and the motor to the right for predictable handling. Matching left and right suspension parts reduce build complexity. The chassis supports two wheelbase choices, varied ride height options and different track widths, along with up to ten gear ratio permutations for set up flexibility.

Building and Finishing Notes

This kit requires hobby skills such as painting the polycarbonate body, trimming, fitting parts and applying decals. The body shell includes moulded light housings front and rear but is not suitable for LED retrofits. Black ABS side mirrors and black 10-spoke wheels with racing radial tyres give the model an authentic on-road stance.

For hobbyists who value accurate scale looks and chassis adjustability, the Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 TT-02 is a practical choice that rewards careful setup and painting.
