Compact competition with the Tamiya 58502 Zen

The Tamiya 58502 Zen channels a seasoned designer's approach into a Mini 4WD that prioritises control and reliability. Built around the Super-II chassis, this kit suits enthusiasts who focus on setup and consistent lap performance.

Sturdy Super-II bathtub chassis

At the heart of the model is an ABS resin Super-II bathtub chassis that supports a rear motor and RWD drive. The layout promotes predictable weight balance and gives tuners a solid platform for adjustments.

Precision suspension components

The car uses a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with C.V.A. oil-filled shocks and monocoque lower arms. That combination helps the vehicle absorb track irregularities and hold a stable line through fast sequences.

Tread designs for mixed grip

Front spiked tyres with three ribs give directional stability while the rear spiked tyres with an X-tread pattern supply drive traction. The dual approach keeps handling composed on a variety of track surfaces.

Durable and tuneable, the Tamiya 58502 Zen is a kit for racers who value setup flexibility and steady racecraft.

Basic modelling tools and small screwdrivers are enough for most of the build. A hobby knife, fine files and masking tape for painting will help achieve a neat finish.
Start with a medium-weight shock oil to balance responsiveness and damping. Adjust oil weight up or down based on whether the car feels bouncy or too stiff on your track.
Yes, the kit features a fully enclosed gearbox which protects gears from dust and debris while maintaining smooth power transfer.
Upgrading to different tyre compounds or alternate shock pistons and springs is common. Changes should match your local track conditions to improve lap times.
Use a quality primer and multiple thin paint coats. Consider a clear protective layer to reduce chipping and keep the finish looking sharp after impacts.
