Recreating a Nürburgring Contender in Scale

The Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 earned recognition with endurance racing success and an innovative CNG program. Tamiya 58508 brings that race car to life at 1/10 scale, giving builders a compact and accurate model of the original competitor.

TT-01E Underpinnings: Reliable and Upgradeable

The TT-01E is known for its easy build flow and solid drive characteristics. It uses a shaft-driven 4WD system, independent double wishbone suspension and gear differentials. While the kit includes plastic bushings, many hobbyists choose to install full ball bearings to smooth drivetrain operation and extend component life.

Accurate Bodywork and Detailing Options

The kit's polycarbonate body is moulded to reflect the GT24 profile and includes decals and masking sheets to match the 2011 race livery. Separate mirrors and rear wing parts improve the finish. LED lighting is not included but can be fitted later to enhance the model for show or night runs.

The Tamiya 58508 suits builders who value accurate race detail and a straightforward chassis that responds well to common upgrades. It is a strong pick for track days and display cabinets.

Basic modelling tools, hobby glue for trims, a fine knife and screwdrivers are sufficient; a small set of metric hex drivers makes the job quicker and neater.
The included Tamiya 540 brushed motor delivers reliable performance for casual club events, though competitive racers often upgrade to higher performance motors and matching ESCs.
Use paints formulated for polycarbonate shells and apply from the inside after masking; this preserves clear outer gloss and gives the correct finish.
Spare parts and hop-up components for the TT-01E and common Tamiya items are widely available from hobby stores and online retailers.
