Revisiting the golden era of RC racing, Tamiya has re-introduced the Egress 4WD, capturing the spirit of its iconic 1989 predecessor while integrating today’s advanced technology. Initially, the Egress was a follow-up to the Avante, another giant in the off-road racing community, beloved for its intricate design and prowess on the track. This 2013 re-release pays homage to those roots while exceeding modern performance expectations.
A Modern Classic: Design and Features
The Egress 58583 is not just a nostalgic piece; it’s a beast on the track with its long wheelbase carbon fiber chassis and high-capacity aluminum dampers.

The fully independent double wishbone suspension paired with a bell-crank steering mechanism offers precision and stability, crucial for navigating competitive tracks. For RC enthusiasts who love fine-tuning, the adjustable camber and gear ratios offer extensive customization potential.
