Iconic Lexus silhouette tuned for RC drifting
The Tamiya 58432 recreates the Lexus GS400, also known as the Toyota Aristo, as a 1/10 scale drift model that keeps the sedan's refined profile while being prepared for controlled slides on asphalt. This kit blends styling accuracy with parts that cater to drift practice and setup work.
TT-01E Platform Built for Drift Control
The TT-01E chassis provides a straightforward build and predictable handling. Its 4WD shaft-driven bathtub layout, coil spring damped 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, and sealed differential gearboxes deliver stability and consistent response during prolonged drift runs.
Tuning and Drift Hardware
Key drift components are factory matched to improve slide behavior. The included RS-540 sport-tuned motor, aluminum heat sink, CVA super mini shock dampers and short springs combine with adjustable upper arms to let you refine balance and slip angle for different track surfaces.
Lighting and Custom Touches
The polycarbonate body mirrors the real Aristo lines and features molded front and rear light cases. This kit includes the Tamiya LED light unit TLU-01 with white and red LEDs, and it is compatible with additional LEDs or the TLU-02 control unit for expanded light functions.
Wheels and Drift Tires
Mounted on stylish rims, the Super Driftech tires are designed for extended drifting. At 24mm width with a +2 offset, these tires balance predictable slip with enough traction to maintain control during long drift sequences.
