Tamiya 58408 SX4 WRC 1/10 TT-01E Performance Kit  [58408]

SX4 WRC Origins and Rally Impact

The Suzuki SX4's WRC programme turned a compact five-door into a competitive rally machine with a broader body, upgraded suspension packages and a 300hp turbocharged engine. Its entry at the 2008 Monte Carlo Rally, campaigned by Toni Gardemeister and Per-Gunnar Andersson, proved it could score points in the championship.

Type-E Chassis Features and Strength

The Tamiya 58408 uses the updated TT-01 Type-E chassis which incorporates several durability and handling improvements. The updated A Parts and D Parts use fiberglass reinforced resin for stronger components and easier maintenance. Steering accuracy benefits from TA05 steering posts, and the strengthened upper deck increases rigidity while adding a transponder mount for timing on race days.

Precision Moulded Rally Shell

This kit supplies a lightweight polycarbonate SX4 WRC body with injection molded mirrors and a distinct rear wing. The metal-plated light cases are ready for LEDs to be installed for a realistic look. Included electronics are a Type 540 motor and TEU-101BK ESC so the core drive system is in place once you add receiver and battery.

With its accurate rally body and toughened TT-01 Type-E underpinnings the Tamiya 58408 is well suited to hobbyists who want a balance of scale realism and tunable performance for club racing or weekend fun.
