Raikiri GT overview for on-road racers

In the touring car scene the Tamiya Raikiri GT with model number 58626 uses the familiar TT-02 platform to combine striking styling with practical performance. Drawing design cues from a classic Japanese sword the Raikiri GT features an aero-conscious body that helps generate downforce. As a 1/10 scale on-road kit it works well for newcomers learning setup and for hobbyists focused on tuning a competitive machine.

Accessible performance and predictable handling

The TT-02 chassis is central to the Raikiri GT's appeal. Built as an entry level yet capable base it offers straightforward assembly for first builds while giving room for setup tweaks. The 4WD layout with a durable gearbox and dog bone drives provides stable traction and consistent cornering across smooth surfaces.

Upgrade paths and tuning basics

The TT-02 is known for hop-up compatibility, making it simple to adapt the Raikiri GT to different driving goals. Owners can modify gear ratios, adjust ride height and change wheelbase components to dial handling or top speed. A wide aftermarket supports suspension, gearing and cosmetic upgrades.

The Tamiya Raikiri GT on TT-02 is an approachable kit that scales with your skills. It suits people starting out who want a solid build experience and tinkerers who plan progressive upgrades.

Yes. The TT-02 chassis offers an easy assembly process and predictable handling, making the kit suitable for beginners while still rewarding upgrades.
The specification lists a 540-brushed type motor and an ESC that supports both brushed and brushless setups. You will still need a transmitter, receiver and battery pack to complete the car.
The Raikiri GT performs best on smooth asphalt, sealed tracks and indoor carpet where the slick tyres and low ride height can be used effectively.
Regular checks of drivetrain wear, cleaning the friction dampers and inspecting polycarbonate body mounts will keep the car reliable. Replace worn dog bones and gears as needed.
