Tamiya 58529 1/10 Toyota 86 TT-01 Type-E Chassis Kit  [58529]

Scale Recreation of the Toyota 86

The Toyota 86 captured attention after its debut at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show and reached global showrooms in 2012. Tamiya recreates that sporting character in the Tamiya 58529 kit, mounted on the TT-01 Type-E chassis to deliver an authentic on-road model that balances detail and practicality for builders.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis Dynamics

The TT-01 Type-E forms a durable 4WD shaft drive platform that improves stability and predictability on paved surfaces. Its fully independent double wishbone suspension and bell-crank steering provide crisp input response, while friction dampers and radial rubber tires help maintain traction and realistic handling for both newcomers and experienced drivers.

Faithful Toyota 86 Styling

The Tamiya 58529 sports an ABS plastic body sculpted to echo the Toyota 86's proportions and stance. Although LED light buckets and lighting are not included, the kit accepts extra plated wheels and other cosmetic upgrades to personalize the look without changing the core silhouette.

Assembly Notes and Tuning Tips

As a kit, the Tamiya 58529 invites a hands-on build. Adjustable ride height and gear ratio let you dial handling for different driving styles, while fixed camber and toe settings give predictable behavior out of the box. You will need to provide a 7.2V battery, charger, radio gear, servo, receiver, and polycarbonate paint to finish the body.

The Tamiya 58529 - 1/10 RC Toyota 86 TT-01E Chassis Kit offers a straightforward build with genuine styling and tuning potential, making it a solid pick for modelers who value authentic looks and dependable on-road handling.
