Tamiya 58529 Toyota 86 TT-01E 1/10 Chassis Kit  [58529]

Miniature Toyota 86 with Tunable TT-01E Underpinnings

The Toyota 86 has been a standout sports coupe since its reveal at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show and global release in 2012. Tamiya translates that character into the Tamiya 58529, fitting a detailed 1/10 body to the dependable TT-01 Type-E chassis for a realistic driving model.

Chassis Features and Road Behaviour

The TT-01 Type-E uses a shaft-driven 4WD system to help keep traction balanced during spirited runs on smooth surfaces. Its fully independent double wishbone suspension and bell-crank steering produce controllable response, while friction dampers and radial rubber tyres add predictable grip for track or street sessions.

Authentic Body and Cosmetic Options

The kit's ABS body mirrors the Toyota 86 profile and stance. Lighting components are omitted from the basic kit, but owners can fit extra plated wheels or other trim parts to personalise the appearance without changing the model's accurate silhouette.

Practical Build Tips

As a builder's kit, the Tamiya 58529 requires additional items to complete: a 7.2V battery, charger, transmitter and receiver, a steering servo, and polycarbonate paint. Ride height and gearing can be tuned to match handling preferences while camber and toe remain fixed for reliable baseline performance.

For modelers seeking a faithful Toyota 86 replica with straightforward tuning paths, the Tamiya 58529 - 1/10 RC Toyota 86 TT-01E Chassis Kit delivers reliable drivability and clear upgrade routes.
