Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 TT-02 1/10 Scale Build Kit  [58694]

Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 TT-02 Chassis Summary

The Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 reproduces Toyota's compact sports car in 1/10 scale for on-road R/C use. The production GR86 is prized for nimble handling and a lightweight feel, built around a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive concept that arrived in April 2021. Its motorsport-influenced design and low centre of gravity complement the 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine delivering 235 horsepower, with aluminium used on the hood, roof and front fenders.

Features of the TT-02 Platform

The TT-02 serves as a flexible base, delivering a shaft-driven 4WD experience. The longitudinal configuration places the battery on the left and the motor on the right to promote stable handling. Symmetrical suspension arms and uprights keep parts common and assembly simpler. The chassis supports two wheelbase positions, adjustable ride height and different track options, plus ten gear ratio choices for tailored driving behaviour.

Build Considerations and Finish

This is an assembly kit that requires cutting, painting and careful sticker application. The polycarbonate body includes housings for front and rear lights but does not support LED fittings natively. Black ABS side mirrors and black 10-spoke wheels combined with racing radial tyres complete the model's period-correct appearance.

The Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 TT-02 blends scale authenticity with a tunable chassis, making it a good match for builders who focus on setup, paint and incremental upgrades.
