Scale MR-S with GT-Inspired Styling

The Toyota MR-S became noted for its agility in sports car racing, and Tamiya brings that character to the 1/10 Toyota MR-S Racing (TA04-SS) model. It features a hardtop profile, sculpted front and rear wings and a large rear spoiler that reflect the car's race-oriented silhouette.

TA04-SS Layout for Improved Turn-In

The TA04-SS updates the TA04-S with a 10mm shorter wheelbase to enhance corner entry. Combined with dedicated suspension arms and a double wishbone setup, the chassis yields steady mid-corner balance and quick response to driver inputs.

Transmission and Shock Setup

The belt-driven midship full-time 4WD spreads torque evenly to maintain traction. CVA Mini II shocks handle damping duties and the adjustable caster and toe settings let you fine-tune handling for lap consistency.

The kit includes a clear polycarbonate shell that requires trimming and painting. Mask and paint in stages to preserve crisp panel lines and scale details.
Regular belt tension checks, bearing lubrication or replacement, and inspecting gear mesh help maintain smooth operation and extend service life.
Yes, the TA04-SS is geared toward on-road use and performs well on asphalt circuits when fitted with suitable tyres and a matched motor setup.
