The Tamiya 58212 presents the Peugeot 406 ST as a 1/10 scale touring car replica, delivering accurate styling in a track-ready package. The TL01 platform beneath is a proven choice for those wanting a robust, easy-to-maintain chassis.
This TL01 chassis uses a shaft-driven 4WD system for even power distribution, while its double wishbone suspension and coil spring dampers offer a predictable handling feel. The polycarbonate monocoque frame helps keep the overall weight low.
Designed around a common 540 electric motor, the Tamiya 58212 provides good acceleration and top-end on the right setup. The polycarbonate body captures the Peugeot 406 ST silhouette and looks authentic when painted and detailed.
The kit ships for assembly and includes the Tamiya TEU-101BK ESC; however, you will need to supply a suitable 7.2V battery pack and a radio system to operate the model. This gives flexibility to match components to driving preferences.
For Australian hobbyists who want a realistic touring car to build and tune, the Tamiya 58212 TL01 Peugeot 406 ST is a solid starting point with room for upgrades and setup tweaks.
