Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200: Period-Correct On-Road Model

Hobbyists who enjoy classic JDM silhouettes will find the Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200 an attractive project. The kit reproduces the Altezza styling and delivers a faithful scale interpretation of the 1998 award-winning model.

Durable TL-01 Chassis Explained

The TL-01 chassis is valued for its robust construction and ease of setup. The 4WD shaft drive adds traction for sealed surfaces, and the fully independent double wishbone suspension aids stable cornering and predictable feedback.

True-To-Scale Body and Wheels

The clear polycarbonate shell mirrors the Lexus contours and accepts detailed paintwork and trim. The supplied 17-inch style wheels with radial tyres enhance the model's authentic road-car presence and provide consistent grip on tarmac.

Personalising Performance

Camber and toe are pre-set in the kit but you can change gearing and ride height to tweak behaviour. The package uses a tried-and-true 540-brushed motor for steady power delivery that is simple to manage during club runs or casual road sessions.

Combining a detailed body with the reliable TL-01 layout, the Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200 is a practical choice for those who enjoy authentic scale models and straightforward tuning.

A basic 2.4GHz radio with a standard steering servo is sufficient; choose an ESC compatible with brushed motors unless you plan to fit a brushless conversion.
Polycarbonate painting is straightforward if you use polycarbonate-specific paints and mask carefully; this shell is ideal for custom colour schemes.
Radial rubber tyres supplied with the kit are geared to sealed surfaces; for more grip you can try softer compound tyres or different tread patterns made for on-road use.
A brushless conversion is possible with appropriate motor mounts, pinion/spur changes and a compatible ESC, but check clearance and gearing to maintain reliable driveline operation.
