Tamiya 58488 Sumo Power GT Nissan GT-R TA06 1/10 Kit  [58488]

Sumo Power GT Nissan GT-R in 1/10 Scale Precision

For RC fans who value scale accuracy and engineering, the Tamiya 58488 Sumo Power GT Nissan GT-R delivers a faithful 1/10 replica of the Sumo Power GT entry from the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship. Built on the TA06 platform, this kit balances realistic styling with performance-focused chassis layout.

TA06 chassis layout and drivetrain traits

The TA06 chassis is prized for tunability and predictable handling. This kit uses a 4WD layout with a dual-belt drive to deliver smooth power transfer. The mid-rear motor placement improves rear traction and balance, while the independent double wishbone suspension and CVA oil dampers help control the car on tarmac and prepared surfaces.

Running gear and adjustability for tuners

The Tamiya 58488 includes full ball bearings to cut drivetrain friction and threaded turnbuckle shafts for accurate suspension geometry changes. The battery tray fits NiCd, NiMh, LiFe, and LiPo packs to suit different power setups. Medium-narrow slick tyres on 18-spoke wheels provide a period-correct look and consistent lap times.

Authentic GT-1 body and upgrade paths

The polycarbonate GT-1 spec Nissan GT-R body features separate side mirrors and a molded rear wing for scale detail. It also accepts most TA05 and TA06 compatible bodies, allowing hobbyists to swap designs or fit upgraded aero parts for track work or display.

The Tamiya 58488 Sumo Power GT Nissan GT-R is a versatile kit that suits collectors who want race-correct detail and racers who need a tunable TA06 platform.
