Tamiya 58300 ABT Audi TT-R DTM TA04SS 1/10 Chassis Kit  [58300]

Tamiya 58300 overview and appeal

RC builders who value faithful touring car replicas will appreciate the Tamiya 58300. This 1/10 scale ABT Audi TT-R DTM sits on the TA04SS platform, a short-wheelbase chassis known for nimble handling and confident cornering. It blends accurate styling with race-oriented engineering for road circuit practice and club racing.

TA04SS chassis benefits for sharper handling

The TA04SS chassis shortens wheelbase by 10mm versus the TA04-S to sharpen turn-in and boost responsiveness. Its double wishbone geometry plus a 4WD dual belt drive deliver stable traction and predictable balance, making setup changes and tyre choices easy to evaluate. That stability helps both newcomers refining skills and experienced drivers chasing lap time.

Two body shells for lightweight or standard fitment

The kit includes two clear polycarbonate bodies: a lighter shell for reduced mass and a standard shell for a more authentic look. Both capture the rounded ABT Audi TT-R DTM silhouette and come with decal sheets covering five different markings so you can personalise the livery to your taste.

Powertrain and upgrade pathways

The package ships with an electric 540 motor and a 7.08:1 gear ratio that balances acceleration and top speed for on-road layouts. For tuners, hop-up parts like the TA04 aluminum gear hub and carbon damper stays are compatible, allowing targeted gains in durability, steering feel, and weight distribution.

Whether you collect scale racers or aim to refine on-road setups, the Tamiya 58300 delivers a flexible platform. Its authentic bodywork plus upgrade potential make it a solid base for hobbyists focused on handling and setup development.
