Tamiya 58381: A Tom's SC430 Tribute

The Tamiya 58381 celebrates the Tom's Lexus SC430 from the 2006 Super GT campaign, the car driven by Juichi Wakisaka and Andre Lotterer. This 1/10 scale model captures the car's silhouette and race livery for track use or shelf display.

TA05 Chassis Design for Tuners

The TA05 chassis offers equal-length front and rear belts that help maintain balance during acceleration and cornering. Its low centre of gravity and single-deck layout provide a stable base for setup changes, making tuning straightforward for seasonal track conditions.

Trimmed Bodywork and Efficient Drivetrain

The polycarbonate shell included with the Tamiya 58381 is both lightweight and resilient, shaped to mimic the SC430 lines. Large authentic-style decals finish the look, while full ball bearings reduce mechanical drag for crisper power delivery.

Choosing the Tamiya 58381 for Your Garage

Pick the Tamiya 58381 if you want a historically themed model that doubles as a capable TA05 platform. It is suitable for newcomers progressing into competitive events and for seasoned builders seeking a solid base for upgrades.
