Compact racer with scale detail and controlled handling

Since its debut in 2020, the Tamiya 58684 GR Yaris has been popular with RC fans who value scale accuracy and driving feel. This 1/10 model captures the look of Toyota's GR Yaris with its three-door hatch silhouette and the GR-FOUR sports 4WD styling cues. It is aimed at modelers who want both an attractive display piece and a nimble on-track performer.

Scale styling and authentic bodywork

The GR Yaris kit features a clear polycarbonate shell that reproduces the car's aggressive front grille, widened rear arches and aerodynamic roof spoiler. The body mounts to the M-05 chassis, known for a low center of gravity and predictable handling. Finished with black 11-spoke wheels and treaded tyres, the model balances visual fidelity with practical drivability.

M-05 chassis tuning and layout

The M-05 platform focuses on balanced weight distribution and a low profile. This front-wheel drive oriented layout uses a semi-monocoque resin frame for strength and straightforward assembly. With a 239mm L wheelbase the chassis promotes stability, while double wishbone suspension and a 3-piece steering linkage provide sharp response through corners.

The Tamiya 58684 GR Yaris is a strong choice for hobbyists seeking a mix of faithful styling and engaging handling, suitable for display, club racing, or weekend track sessions.

Basic modelling tools work well: hobby knife, side cutters, small screwdrivers, hex drivers and hobby glue for any trim. A fine file or sanding stick helps clean up body mounting holes.
The kit lists a Type 540 motor. For club track use, a well-balanced 540 brushed or brushless conversion will give good performance while remaining reliable.
The kit includes the black 11-spoke wheels and treaded tyres shown, but electronic items like battery, ESC and radio are not included and must be sourced separately.
