Authentic Modena silhouette married to the TL01 chassis

The Tamiya 58289 - 1/10 Ferrari Modena TL01 Chassis Kit combines a faithful polycarbonate Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge body with the well-known TL01 chassis. Collectors and racers will appreciate the accurate styling paired with a chassis that is straightforward to set up and maintain.

Why the TL01 is favoured for on-road builds

The TL01 features a monocoque frame that keeps weight low and a shaft-driven 4WD that gives consistent drive to all wheels. Its double wishbone independent suspension helps distribute weight evenly and the enclosed gearboxes protect the bevel differentials for smooth torque delivery. This makes the car predictable when cornering and useful for learning setup changes.

Practical setup advice for club track use

Built to use a Type 540 motor, this kit suits a wide span of performance levels. Swap tyres, tune friction dampers and alter ride height to dial in handling for different surfaces. The polycarbonate body adds authentic looks while aiding aerodynamic flow at higher speeds.
