Racing heritage and precision: Tamiya 58299 TB Evolution III

For RC racers focused on control and lap-time consistency, the Tamiya 58299 TB Evolution III brings a refined electric touring car platform to the workbench. Evolving from the TB lineage and tracing roots back to the 1994 TGX nitro chassis, this kit refines layout and component choices to meet the needs of both stock and modified sedan competition.

Motor and battery layout for balanced handling

The chassis uses a deliberate motor and battery arrangement to reduce torque steer and sharpen throttle response. With the motor positioned on the right and battery packs on the left, the layout promotes even weight distribution and predictable behaviour during high speed transitions.

Chassis and suspension evolved for sharper turn-in

A narrower double-deck carbon fibre main plate improves steering response while the new centre drive shaft and aluminium spur adaptor cut unwanted vibration. The suspension borrows geometry from the 414MII and includes adjustable blocks so you can tune roll centre, anti-squat and anti-dive for different track surfaces.

Less weight, more nimble handling

Targeted mass savings come from slimmer diff outdrives and reworked bulkheads, trimming roughly 40g from earlier designs. The result is a lighter, more agile touring chassis that reacts quickly to driver inputs.

The Tamiya 58299 TB Evolution III delivers a focused touring car kit for hobbyists who prioritise setup flexibility and track performance. Its lightweight construction and refined driveline make it a solid choice for competitive club racing and seasoned builders.

This is a full kit, so you will need to install electronics, choose tyres and tune suspension geometry to match your track. Basic assembly and setup knowledge will speed the process.
Fine-tuning roll centre with the supplied suspension blocks, selecting the right tyre compound and adjusting diff preload will noticeably improve corner traction.
With careful setup and practice the chassis performs well at club level and can be developed further for advanced competition. It rewards precise tuning rather than driving aids.
You will need a compatible motor, ESC, radio, receiver, servo and battery pack. Choose components sized for 1/10 touring use to match weight and space constraints.
