Rally Heritage of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV is a rally legend driven to victory by T. Makinen in events such as the Portuguese, Catalonian and Argentine rallies. Its strong WRC record reflects the engineering and competitive spirit that made the Evo IV famous, and Tamiya recreates this heritage in a 1/10 scale model for enthusiasts to enjoy.

TL-01 Chassis Overview and Strengths

The TL-01 chassis provides a durable, adaptable base thanks to its polycarbonate monocoque frame, delivering a lightweight yet stiff platform. Its four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension improves handling across mixed surfaces, making the kit approachable for newcomers while still satisfying experienced drivers.

Driving Notes and Practical Setup Tips

The Tamiya 58219 kit comes with a 540 Type motor and uses a gear ratio of 1:7.96 for predictable acceleration. Beginners will find the handling forgiving, and tuners can refine performance by testing tyre compounds and suspension adjustments. The specified wheelbase and tread dimensions help keep the car stable on tight rally stages.
