Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV: A Rally Icon Recreated

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV holds a strong rally record thanks to drivers like T. Makinen and wins at rallies including Portuguese, Catalonian and Argentine rounds. Tamiya recreates that era in 1/10 scale, giving modellers a compact version of a historically significant car.

What the TL-01 Chassis Brings to the Table

Built around a polycarbonate monocoque frame, the TL-01 combines lightness with structural integrity. The four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension is tuned for balanced control, making it suitable for varied running surfaces from club tracks to practice stages.

Setup Hints and Driving Feel

The kit ships with a 540 Type motor and a gear ratio of 1:7.96 for reliable power delivery. Drivers can tailor performance by testing tyre choices and adjusting suspension, while the specified wheelbase and tread numbers help maintain composure during cornering.

Tamiya 58219 suits hobbyists who want a period-correct rally model on a robust, adaptable chassis that responds well to sensible upgrades.

Can the TL-01 be used off-road?

While the TL-01 handles mixed surfaces, it is best suited to light off-road and gravel practice rather than extreme rock or deep mud due to its design and ground clearance.

Is additional reinforcement needed for racing?

Reinforcing key mounting points and fitting hop-up parts can increase durability for club racing; check Tamiya spare options to strengthen the chassis where needed.

What gearing should I use for tight tracks?

Keep gearing conservative with the stock 1:7.96 as a baseline and try smaller pinions to improve low-end acceleration on tight technical courses.

Are body paints and masks available?

Yes, polycarbonate paints and pre-cut masks are widely used for this shell; follow recommended paint types and masking steps to achieve a clean finish.

How do I maintain the suspension?

Regularly check hinge pins, bushings and shock condition for play; light lubrication and periodic inspection will keep the double wishbone setup working smoothly.
