Tamiya 58504 Audi R8 LMS - Precision Track Replica

The Nurburgring 24 Hours is a test of endurance and setup, and the Audi R8 LMS earned its place among endurance winners in that environment. This 1/10 scale Tamiya 58504 model recreates the R8 LMS silhouette with careful attention to details like side mirrors, aerodynamic wing elements, and a full decal sheet to apply authentic livery for track or display.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis: Engineered for Balance

The TT-01 Type-E chassis provides a dependable platform with a shaft-driven full-time 4WD layout for even power distribution. A low-mounted motor and battery in the bathtub frame give a lower center of gravity, while a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and a 3-piece tie rod improve steering accuracy. Suspension is handled by a 4-wheel double wishbone setup and front and rear differential gearing for stable handling at speed.

Authentic Race Detail and Handling

Fitted with racing radial tyres on black dish wheels, the model mimics on-track rubber and stance. Dimensions are faithful to scale: 434mm long, 194mm wide, 122mm tall, with a 257mm wheelbase. A Type 540 motor is supplied with the kit, and an electronic speed controller is required separately to complete your running setup.

Thanks to its accurate bodywork and solid TT-01 Type-E underpinnings, the Tamiya 58504 Audi R8 LMS suits both club racers and collectors who value realistic looks and predictable handling.

Assembly follows clear instructions and most hobbyists with basic tools can complete the kit; expect some time for paint and decal work if you want a show finish.
Choose an ESC rated for the Type 540 motor and your battery voltage; a compact brushed or brushless-capable ESC works depending on motor choice and upgrades.
The TT-01 Type-E accepts common upgrades like aluminium hop-ups, stiffer springs, and improved diffs to sharpen handling for competitive running.
The supplied radial tyres are ideal for smooth asphalt and indoor carpet tracks; try grippier compounds for cooler or rougher surfaces to improve traction.
