Tamiya 58494 Honda CR-Z TT-01E Off-Road Styled 1/10 Kit  [58494]

Compact Performance Replica: Tamiya 58494 Honda CR-Z TT-01E

The Tamiya 58494 Honda CR-Z recreates the sporty hybrid in accurate 1/10 scale, mounted on the user-friendly TT-01E chassis. With shaft-driven 4WD and independent double wishbone suspension, it delivers steady traction and predictable steering response.

Drive Layout and Handling Notes

The TT-01E chassis blends durability with simple tuning options. The 4WD system maintains stability under throttle and the gear diffs help balance power delivery. While the kit uses plastic bushings out of the box, swapping to ball bearings is a common mod for smoother drivetrain rotation.

Scale Detailing and Fitment

The polycarbonate shell is lightweight and accepts vinyl decals for factory trim, while separately moulded mirrors add realism. The narrow radials on silver wheels with a +2 offset complete the authentic look and roll true on circuit surfaces.

Aftermarket and Styling

Included is a Tamiya 540 brushed motor, but many drivers upgrade the motor or adjust gearing to suit track or street goals. First production kits featured blue-plated wheels as a special bonus; LEDs and other accessories are not part of the standard package.

The Tamiya 58494 Honda CR-Z TT-01E is ideal for hobbyists who want a balance of accurate styling and an upgrade-friendly chassis. It suits display builds, club track use, and step-by-step performance tuning.
