A Track-Proven Legend Recreated in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 58283 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup VIP captures the look and racing spirit of one of Porsche's most recognisable competition cars. Drawing on the 3.6-liter, 360 horsepower pedigree of the full-size GT3, this kit recreates the aerodynamic profile and scale detail that appeal to both model collectors and club racers.

TL-01 Chassis Design for Predictable Handling

The TL-01 platform gives this model a solid foundation with an ABS monocoque that balances durability and weight. Independent double-wishbone suspension helps each wheel follow the surface, while the 4WD shaft-drive provides steady traction for consistent lap times. The setup is approachable for newcomers yet tunable enough for experienced hobbyists.

The Tamiya 58283 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is well suited for display and entry-level track use, offering authentic styling and a robust chassis that hobbyists can enjoy and upgrade over time.

What skill level is needed to assemble this kit?

Assembly requires basic modelling experience and patience for painting and trimming the polycarbonate shell; the instructions are clear and parts fit well for first-time kit builders.

Which power setup fits the TL-01 chassis?

The chassis accepts common 540-size motors and standard RC battery packs; check motor dimensions and pinion spacing before fitting to ensure proper gearing and clearance.

Are the supplied tyres good for track use?

The slick tyres are aimed at smooth surfaces and club tracks; for loose or rough surfaces you may want alternative compounds or tread patterns to improve grip.

What common upgrades do owners choose?

Popular upgrades include stiffer springs or hop-up stabiliser sets, upgraded dampers, and higher-performance motor and ESC combos for improved acceleration and handling.
