Tamiya 58212 TL01 Peugeot 406 ST Touring Car Kit  [58212]

Overview of the Tamiya 58212 TL01 Peugeot 406 ST

The Tamiya 58212 reproduces the Peugeot 406 ST at 1/10 scale with faithful body lines and race-inspired styling. Built on the TL01 chassis, it strikes a balance between durability and scale authenticity for hobbyists who enjoy building and running touring cars.

TL01 Chassis Highlights

The TL01 uses a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement to deliver steady traction on different surfaces. Front and rear double wishbone suspension with coil spring dampers gives consistent handling, while the polycarbonate monocoque layout trims weight and keeps the structure rigid.

On-Track Performance and Scale Detail

With a 540-sized electric motor installed, the Tamiya 58212 delivers strong acceleration when geared appropriately. Racing slick tyres and authentic wheel styling combine with a highly detailed polycarbonate shell to recreate the Peugeot 406 ST look on track.

Build and Upgrade Notes

This kit is supplied for assembly, letting builders personalise fit and setup. The Tamiya TEU-101BK electronic speed controller is included, but a 7.2V battery pack and a compatible radio system are required separately, allowing owners to choose batteries and servos to match their driving style.

For builders who value a realistic touring car project with solid handling, the Tamiya 58212 TL01 Peugeot 406 ST is a satisfying platform to assemble, tune, and upgrade for club-level running.
