On-track focus with the Tamiya 58448 Corolla Axio apr GT

The Tamiya 58448 - RC Corolla Axio apr GT captures the racing silhouette of its full-size counterpart while riding on the proven TA05 Version II platform. This kit reproduces the GT300 style seen in show displays since its 2009 debut, offering a blend of scale detail and track-capable engineering.

Aerodynamic body and balanced chassis

The polycarbonate shell is shaped to follow the low, aggressive lines of the race car, and features separately molded mirrors and a rear wing for authentic scale looks. The TA05V.2 chassis uses a 2-belt driven layout to deliver smooth torque transfer and predictable handling for circuit work.

Tuning scope and upgrade paths

Builders can tailor handling with option parts such as a Center One-Way Set or low friction belts from Tamiya. The kit comes with medium narrow racing slicks mounted on 6-spoke gun metal wheels, letting racers dial in grip and steering response.

Who will enjoy this kit

This model suits hobbyists who like a hands-on build and want a tunable touring car platform. The combination of a detailed polycarbonate body and a versatile TA05V.2 chassis makes it a solid project for both display and club racing.

The Tamiya 58448 - RC Corolla Axio apr GT is a good fit for builders who value accurate scale detail and an upgrade-friendly touring car chassis. It offers a steady platform for setup experimentation and track improvements.

The assembly requires basic modelling skills and patience; a beginner can complete it but should allow extra time for painting the polycarbonate shell and installing electronics.
Use a compact 2-channel radio, a reliable ESC sized for Type 540 motors, and a LiPo or NiMH pack that fits the TA05V.2 battery bay for balanced performance.
Yes, the kit accepts a range of touring car tires and wheel offsets; swapping to softer compounds or different widths will change grip and handling for specific track surfaces.
The body should be painted with polycarbonate-specific paints for best results; masking and careful layering will protect fine details like mirrors and wing mounts.
