Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200 TL-01 On-Road Kit  [58237]

Classic 1/10 Styling and Drive from Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200

For RC fans who value authentic looks and dependable handling, the Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200 kit delivers a rewarding on-road build. Also known as the Altezza, the model captures the character of the 1998 Japanese Car of the Year with careful attention to scale detail.

TL-01 Chassis: Simple, Solid, Serviceable

The TL-01 platform is prized for straightforward assembly and long-term durability, making it an excellent choice for first-time kit builders and seasoned hobbyists alike. Its 4WD shaft-driven layout provides stable traction and predictable control on paved surfaces, while the fully independent double wishbone suspension helps maintain composure during spirited runs.

Scale Accuracy and Road-Focused Appearance

The clear polycarbonate body reproduces the Lexus IS 200 lines and lets you paint authentic colour schemes. Fitted sport-style 17-inch wheels and radial rubber tyres complete the road-ready look and supply consistent grip on smooth asphalt and parking-lot circuits.

Tuning Basics and Upgrade Paths

Although camber and toe are set in the basic kit, you can refine performance by changing gear ratios and altering ground clearance to match driving style or venue. The model runs with a 540-brushed motor, offering reliable, easy-to-manage power suitable for club meets and street-style sessions.

The Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200 kit balances realistic styling with a straightforward TL-01 platform, making it an appealing pick for collectors who also like to drive their models.
