Classic Rally Form Meets Practical RC Engineering

The Tamiya 58257 - 1/10 Lancer Evolution VI WRC on the TB-01 chassis brings a classic rally icon into the RC garage. The kit captures the look and racing heritage while providing a buildable platform for hobbyists and club racers.

Layout Details of the TB-01 Chassis

This chassis places the motor lengthwise and uses a shaft drive to power all four wheels, promoting a low center of gravity for stable handling. The main and upper frames allow the R/C gear and battery to lie flat for compact packaging and strength.

Suspension, Dampers and Traction

Equipped with fully independent double wishbones and oil-filled dampers, the car is set up to absorb impacts while maintaining wheel contact. The rally block rubber tyres provide solid bite on loose surfaces and predictable feedback when pushing the limits.

Designed for Durability and Easy Maintenance

Sealed gearboxes and a transparent top cover shield internal parts from dust and grit, helping the model stand up to regular running and simplifying cleaning after outdoor use.

A basic understanding of camber, toe and shock settings helps when dialling in handling, but the stock setup is a good starting point for most users.
The rubber rally block tyres offer decent grip on loose dirt and light gravel, though you may choose specific compounds for heavy gravel or wet conditions.
The kit includes a mix of metal and plastic bushings rather than full ball bearing sets; upgrading bearings is a common enhancement for reduced drag.
Yes, the TB-01 allows gear ratio adjustments so you can tune acceleration versus top speed to suit your motor and track conditions.
Painting the clear polycarbonate shell follows standard masking and lexan paint procedures; take care with trimming and mounting points for a neat finish.
