The Toyota 86 earned a reputation for nimble handling and clean sports styling after its 2009 debut at the Tokyo Motor Show. Known in some markets as the GT-86 or Scion FR-S, the car is celebrated by drivers who value balance and feedback. The Tamiya 57851 reproduces that character in 1/10 scale, giving hobbyists a faithful RC rendition of the roadgoing icon.
The Tamiya 57851 rides on the TT-01DE chassis, a sturdy platform tuned for predictable handling. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout offers smooth power delivery across asphalt and indoor carpet, while a low center of gravity helps the model stay planted through corners. The chassis is forgiving for newcomers yet allows set-up changes for more advanced drivers.
This kit arrives ready-to-run with a painted polycarbonate body that captures the Toyota 86 profile, including side mirrors and aerodynamic lines. The accurate bodywork makes the model attractive on display and easy to personalise with decals or wheel choices.
Beginners will find the Tamiya 57851 approachable thanks to its simple RTR configuration and robust parts. More experienced handlers can tweak suspension settings or swap gearing to suit track conditions. Upgrading to a higher torque motor is a common modification for improved acceleration on timed runs.
The Tamiya 57851 combines scale realism with practical performance, making it a solid pick for first-time drivers and collectors who enjoy tuning their rigs. Its RTR setup gets you on track quickly while leaving room for upgrades.
