Tamiya 58560 1/10 Ferrari 458 Challenge TT-02 Kit - Hobby Edition  [58560]

True-to-Scale Racing: Tamiya 58560 Ferrari 458 Challenge

Based on the 458 Italia, the Ferrari 458 Challenge arrived in 2009 as the F430's successor. Fitted with a 4,500cc engine giving 570ps at 9,000rpm and shaped with Michael Schumacher's input, it was engineered for track duty. Tamiya presents this classic in 1/10 scale on the flexible TT-02 chassis.

TT-02 Chassis: User Friendly and Adaptable

The TT-02 is crafted to be both durable and simple to modify, appealing to club racers and casual builders. It upgrades the TT-01 platform with improved battery flexibility and easier tuning points. The four-wheel drive layout enhances cornering stability and straight-line traction.

Key Features for Scale and Performance

Standout elements include brake disc-shaped hubs for added authenticity, independent double wishbone suspension fitted with friction dampers, and a longitudinally mounted motor and battery for even weight balance. The chassis also supports a 4mm increase in travel for higher clearance setups.

The Tamiya 58560 Ferrari 458 Challenge TT-02 kit appeals to builders who want a realistic shell with a forgiving, upgradeable chassis. It is practical for beginners while offering scope for performance tweaks.
