Model makers who follow rally history will recognise the Tamiya 58713-60A 1/10 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V as a faithful miniature of the 1998 championship car. The kit captures signature styling cues like the pronounced fenders and rear aero while offering a robust shell for everyday running.
The TT-02 chassis is a flexible and forgiving setup that supports a wide range of skill levels. Its shaft-driven 4WD system and longitudinal layout, with the battery on the left and motor on the right, promote stable handling. Symmetrical suspension parts and easy access to gearboxes simplify adjustments and routine servicing, and the chassis supports various wheelbase and clearance setups.
The body is moulded from 1.0mm polycarbonate for a good balance of durability and weight savings. ABS trim pieces are included for mirrors and the rear wing to boost realism. Outfitted with 12-spoke silver wheels and racing radial tyres, the model comes with masking stickers and decals to streamline painting and detailing work.
Tamiya 58713-60A is a strong choice for builders who want a period-correct rally car on a TT-02 chassis that is straightforward to tune and maintain.
