Lancer Evolution VI Brought to Life for RC Enthusiasts

For rally fans and scale model builders, the Tamiya 58257 - 1/10 Lancer Evolution VI WRC on the TB-01 chassis combines classic motorsport history with practical RC engineering. This 1/10 scale assembly kit celebrates Tommi Makinen's championship legacy while delivering a detailed build experience.

TB-01 Chassis Design and Layout

The TB-01 layout uses a lengthwise motor and a shaft-driven 4WD system to lower the center of gravity and improve balance. R/C components and the battery sit flat across the main and upper frames, creating a sturdy platform that helps maintain consistent handling on mixed surfaces.

Independent Suspension and Rally Grip

Designed with fully independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers, the model soaks up bumps while keeping tyres in contact with the ground. The rubber rally block tyres are suited to loose surfaces, giving predictable traction whether you are on dirt or rough pavement.

Chassis Protection and Practical Durability

The TB-01 includes debris-resistant features such as sealed gearcases and a transparent upper cover to guard internal parts from dust. These protective elements make regular running and maintenance simpler after muddy or dusty sessions.
