The Tamiya 58513 Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 revives a late 70s racing icon in a user-friendly kit form. Fitted to the TT-01 Type-E chassis, the model blends vintage visuals with a straightforward assembly process suited to hobby garages.
The polycarbonate body is faithful to the original silhouette and comes with separately moulded mirrors and rear wing parts for accurate finishing. Blue-plated medium-narrow mesh wheels accent the classic stance and period-correct look.
Under the shell the TT-01E chassis sports a shaft-driven 4WD system for balanced power delivery. Independent suspension and oil-filled dampers aid traction and control, helping drivers of varying skill levels find consistent handling.
This kit ships with a 540-J brushed motor and the Tamiya TEU-104BK ESC, while still leaving room for builders to add LED lighting, swap in a different motor, or fine-tune suspension parts to their preference.
Tamiya 58513 suits hobbyists who want a retro racer that is easy to build and tune. Its reliable chassis layout makes it a solid platform for learning upgrades and enjoying scale runs.
