Tamiya 58716 GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid for TT-02 enthusiasts

The Tamiya GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid is reproduced here as the Tamiya 58716 kit, reflecting the compact but potent rally machine that competed under Rally1 rules in 2022. The life-size car pairs a hybrid system with a turbo engine, delivering in excess of 500PS and 500Nm of torque, and this RC version brings the aggressive stance and competitive spirit into a buildable 1/10 platform.

Why the TT-02 chassis suits this model

The TT-02 is celebrated in the hobby for its reliable, tunable layout. The shaft-driven four-wheel drive spreads power evenly, and the low-slung battery and motor positioning help keep handling predictable. Parts like identical suspension arms and accessible gear housings make conversions and upkeep straightforward, while options for changing wheelbase, ride height and gearing allow you to tailor performance.

Race-inspired bodywork and trim details

The polycarbonate body reproduces the rally aerodynamics and includes separate front light cases for an authentic appearance. Although the front LEDs are non-functional, the kit contains realistic molded parts including side mirrors, a two-piece rear wing and side ducts. Finished on dark gunmetal multi-spoke wheels with racing radial tyres, the model looks ready for special stages.

The Tamiya GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid mounted on the TT-02 chassis is a balanced platform for hobbyists who like to tweak setup and enjoy authentic rally styling on varied surfaces.

When assembled the model measures roughly 416mm long by 190mm wide and stands about 146mm tall, matching a 1/10 scale footprint.
The TT-02 layout can accept brushless motors and suitable ESCs, but check space and mounting options; the kit ships with a HobbyWing THW 1060 brushed ESC for immediate use.
With its radial tyres and TT-02 setup, the model performs well on smooth gravel, compact dirt and sealed surfaces. Tyre and suspension tuning will improve grip on loose terrain.
Yes, the polycarbonate body arrives unpainted and requires compatible paints such as Tamiya PS series to recreate the rally livery and finish.
