Tamiya 58501 1/10 Nissan GT-R Sumo Power TT-01E Kit  [58501]

How the Nissan GT-R Made Its Mark in RC Circles

The Nissan GT-R's racing pedigree, highlighted by the Sumo Power entry in the 2010 FIA GT1 series, is faithfully reproduced by Tamiya in this scale model. The kit blends historic motorsport appeal with accessible chassis engineering for hobbyists and collectors.

TT-01E Chassis Design and Drive Layout

The TT-01E platform is prized for its straightforward, tough construction and 4WD shaft-driven layout that gives predictable handling. Its bathtub-style chassis shields internal parts while the independent double wishbone suspension and sealed differentials deliver consistent control across different surfaces.

Scale Styling and Upgrade Options

The 1/10 scale polycarbonate body captures the GT-R silhouette with separate side mirrors and a rear wing for authentic looks. The kit supplies light cases for optional LED lighting plus a full decal sheet and masking seals to help with precision painting.

Powertrain and Running Gear Details

Fitted with a Type 540 motor, the TT-01E provides a reliable power source for club runs and street sessions. The kit leaves the electronic speed controller to the builder, allowing choice of ESC to match driving preference. Narrow slick tyres on silver 6-spoke wheels come fitted for a classic touring appearance.

The Tamiya 58501 Nissan GT-R Sumo Power TT-01E Kit is suitable for hobbyists who value authentic race-inspired styling and a solid, tunable chassis platform.
