Toyota MR-S in RC: Classic GT Appeal

The Toyota MR-S earned a reputation for sharp handling and track presence in GT racing, and Tamiya reproduces that spirit with the 1/10 scale Toyota MR-S Racing (TA04-SS). The model shows a detailed hardtop silhouette, pronounced front and rear fenders, and a large rear wing that echoes the car's aerodynamic intent.

TA04-SS Chassis Tuned for Agile Performance

The TA04-SS is an evolution of the TA04-S, refined for crisper cornering thanks to a 10mm shorter wheelbase. Purpose-built suspension arms and a double wishbone layout give the chassis predictable roll control and responsive steering for on-road competition.

Drive Layout and Handling Components

The belt-driven midship full-time 4WD system ensures even torque across all wheels for improved traction. CVA Mini II dampers smooth out track imperfections, and adjustable caster and toe settings let hobbyists dial in handling for different circuits.

The Tamiya 58290 Toyota MR-S Racing (TA04-SS) suits enthusiasts who value precise chassis engineering and tunable handling. Its layout and adjustability make it a solid choice for drivers focused on setup and lap consistency.

Is this kit suited to newcomers to RC road racing?

The kit has advanced features, but a newcomer can build and run it. Expect a learning curve when setting suspension and drivetrain tuning; joining a club or following a build guide helps.

Which motor class works best with the TA04-SS?

A standard 540-size brushed or brushless motor provides the right balance of speed and fitment. Choose gearing to suit track size and desired acceleration.

Can the suspension be upgraded for tighter handling?

Yes, swapping to higher-spec dampers or tuning spring rates and camber can sharpen handling. Small changes to toe and caster also noticeably affect turn-in.

What battery types fit this model?

The chassis accepts common 7.2V stick or pack style NiMH batteries listed by Tamiya, and many builders also fit equivalent LiPo packs with the correct voltage and connectors.
