The Ferrari 458 Challenge traces its roots to the 458 Italia and arrived in 2009 as the successor to the F430. Powered by a 4,500cc unit making 570ps at 9,000rpm and developed with input from Michael Schumacher, the car was honed for circuit performance. Tamiya captures that racing spirit in a detailed 1/10 scale kit on the adaptable TT-02 chassis.
The TT-02 chassis gives newcomers and seasoned builders a dependable base to start from. It improves on the TT-01 with broader battery compatibility and straightforward adjustment points. Its 4WD layout delivers consistent traction and predictable handling for on-road racing or pratice sessions in open spaces.
Highlights of the TT-02 include brake disc style wheel hubs for a realistic look, independent double wishbone suspension using friction dampers, and a longitudinal motor and battery layout for even weight distribution. The design also allows an extra 4mm of ride height for rally style setups.
The Tamiya 58560 Ferrari 458 Challenge TT-02 kit suits hobbyists who want an approachable build with scope for tuning. It is user friendly for first-time kit builders and flexible enough for experienced racers to personalise.
