Tamiya 58502 Zen - Super-II chassis tuned for precision

The Tamiya 58502 Zen is aimed at hardcore Mini 4WD racers who appreciate measured setup and stable lap times. Drawing on a 1990s designer heritage, this model uses the Super-II platform to deliver race-oriented balance and predictable handling. The Zen name reflects that focus on steady performance and driver control.

Engineered Super-II chassis

The core of the model is the Super-II bathtub chassis made of lightweight ABS resin. It houses a rear-mounted motor in a rear-wheel drive layout to promote neutral weight distribution and consistent cornering behavior. The chassis layout supports tight tuning and reliable durability on the track.

Four-wheel independent handling

This kit features a 4-wheel independent double wishbone arrangement with C.V.A. oil-filled dampers and monocoque-style lower arms. The suspension soaks up track transitions and keeps the car composed through chicanes and fast sweepers, helping drivers maintain straight-line speed and stability.

Tire setup for stable traction

The tyre design pairs front spiked tyres with three ribs for steering stability and rear spiked tyres with an X-pattern for drive grip. This front/rear approach ensures controlled turn-in and firm traction when accelerating out of corners.

Built for racers who value heritage and setup, the Tamiya 58502 Zen combines a proven chassis and competition-minded suspension to perform consistently on club tracks.

The kit is aimed at experienced builders. Basic modelling and kit assembly skills are required, including trimming and painting the resin body and fitting the gearbox and suspension components.
Choose compact motor and battery combos that fit the rear motor bay and keep weight low. Low-profile speed controllers and small, light servos help preserve balance and handling.
Yes. The white resin body accepts common spray paints used for scale RC bodies. Test primer and paint on a spare area first, and use light coats for a smooth finish.
Regular checks of suspension fasteners, shock oil condition, and tyre wear will maintain lap consistency. Keep gear teeth clean and lubricated and check the sealed gearbox for debris.
