Tamiya Mustang Cobra R in 1/10 scale

The Ford Mustang Cobra R represents classic muscle car style and performance. Tamiya renders that character at 1/10 scale on the TL-01 chassis, giving builders a faithful-looking model and an engaging assembly process.

TL-01 chassis overview

The TL-01 platform is designed for stable on-road handling. Its 4WD shaft drive provides even power delivery and composed behaviour in corners. The fully independent double wishbone suspension keeps the car planted, while the supplied 540-brushed motor provides predictable power for club runs and street-style layouts.

Body and styling notes

The clear polycarbonate shell captures the Cobra R's aggressive silhouette and is ideal for custom paint and decals. The moulded details and racing-style rear wing deliver the visual cues of the original car, making the finished model stand out on display or at meetings.

Tuning and running options

Adjustable gear ratios and ride height let you tune the TL-01 for different surfaces and driving preferences. The fixed wheelbase and track give a balanced starting setup, and the radial rubber tyres offer dependable grip on smooth surfaces. Many builders swap the mechanical ESC for a modern electronic speed controller to improve throttle response.

The Tamiya 58228 Ford Mustang Cobra R is a versatile assembly kit that appeals to both new builders and experienced modders. Its mix of authentic styling and tunable chassis makes it a solid pick for on-road enthusiasts.

The TL-01 assembly is straightforward with clearly numbered parts and a simple layout, so an attentive beginner can complete it with basic hobby tools and patience.
Upgrading to a more modern motor and electronic speed controller will improve acceleration and throttle control, but check fitment and gearing before purchasing parts.
No, the kit does not include a battery or charger. Plan to buy a compatible 7.2V pack and a suitable charger separately.
Use paint formulated for polycarbonate shells and apply thin layers from the inside of the clear body for a durable, glossy finish.
