Tamiya 58513 - 1/10 Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 TT-01E Chassis Kit  [58513]

Classic Reissue with Modern Running Gear

Collectors and scale RC drivers will appreciate the Tamiya 58513 Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 reissue, which channels the late 1970s race look while being mounted on the contemporary TT-01 Type-E platform. The remake gives a nostalgic silhouette along with easier assembly and up-to-date drivability.

Period-Correct Bodywork and Details

The Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 keeps its classic profile in a precision-molded polycarbonate body, with separate side mirror and rear wing pieces for authentic assembly. Blue-plated medium-narrow mesh wheels complete the vintage race appearance and sit true to the car's original styling.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis Dynamics

Built on the TT-01 Type-E chassis, this kit uses a shaft-driven 4WD system that delivers steady traction across varied surfaces. The fully independent suspension and oil-filled dampers help tame bumps and maintain predictable handling for drivers learning setup or refining technique.

Tuning Options and Add-Ons

The package includes a 540-J brushed motor and the Tamiya TEU-104BK ESC, yet the TT-01E layout leaves room for upgrades. Builders often fit LED lighting, a higher-performance motor, or suspension tweaks to match their driving preferences and track conditions.

The Tamiya 58513 Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 is a great pick for hobbyists who want a period-correct shell with a forgiving, upgrade-friendly chassis. Its straightforward build and familiar parts layout make it an easy project for newcomers and a pleasant collector piece for experienced modelers.
