Track-Inspired Graphics on the Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4

Tamiya delivers detailed kits that appeal to both display collectors and active hobbyists. The Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4 RC Kit reproduces the colourful Hatsune Miku race livery at 1/10 scale, reflecting the Team Studie GLAD Racing car seen in Super GT events.

Background of the Livery

The model follows the BMW Z4 driven by Team Studie GLAD during the 2009 Super GT300 season, a car that stood out for its anime-themed paintwork. Tamiya captures that distinctive character integration so you get a faithful miniature of the actual race car.

Shaft Drive Chassis and Ride Behaviour

Built on the TT-01 Type-E chassis, this kit uses a shaft-driven 4-wheel drive arrangement for reliable on-track stability. The chassis is praised for its resilience and easy maintenance, suiting a wide range of skill levels. The included slick tyres and BBS-style mesh wheels provide steady grip on paved tracks.

Lighting Options and Custom Work

The kit includes two red and two yellow 5mm LEDs operated by the TLU-01 Light Control Unit. If you prefer more complex lighting, the TLU-02 can be added to control up to 32 LEDs. There are many optional parts available to personalise both looks and handling.

Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4 RC Kit is a strong option for those who want an eye-catching livery plus a chassis that is simple to tune for track or display use.

Basic modelling tools like side cutters, a hobby knife, screwdrivers and small hex drivers are recommended. A paint setup for polycarbonate bodies will be needed if you plan to finish the body yourself.
Yes, decals for the Hatsune Miku livery are provided with the kit. Careful trimming and application will help achieve a clean, display-quality finish.
Routine checks include inspecting drive shafts, differential oils, and wheel nuts. Cleaning debris from the chassis and recharging or replacing batteries are regular tasks.
With suspension tuning, tyre selection and powertrain upgrades, the TT-01 Type-E chassis can be adapted for club racing. Many tuners use optional parts to improve handling and acceleration.
The kit includes a TEU-101BK ESC paired with a Type 540 motor. If you move to a brushless system, you will need to replace the ESC with a compatible brushless unit.
