Tamiya 58272 Corvette C5-R TA04-S 1/10 Scale Kit  [58272]

Why the Tamiya 58272 Corvette C5-R Still Matters

Model builders and racers who value authentic race replicas will find the Tamiya 58272 - 1/10 RCC Corvette C5-R (TA04-S) compelling. The kit nods to the Corvette C5-R that won overall at the 2001 Daytona 24-hour race and ships with a pre-painted polycarbonate body so you can concentrate on assembly and tuning.

Key Features of the TA04-S Frame

The TA04-S is built for dependable on-track performance, using a reinforced resin double-deck frame and a dual-belt 4WD system for efficient drivetrain operation. Ball bearings in the transmission and steering areas help minimise friction and support sharper handling and acceleration.

Handling, Aero and Customisation

Beyond looks, the Corvette C5-R shell includes race-oriented aero such as a large rear wing and authentic livery. The chassis uses independent four-wheel suspension with double wishbones and offers adjustable camber and toe so you can fine-tune balance and cornering response.

With its combination of authentic Corvette styling and a tunable TA04-S chassis, the Tamiya 58272 kit suits builders who want a race-ready look and a platform they can tweak for better lap times.
