The Toyota 86, unveiled at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, quickly gained a reputation as an iconic sports car. Known as the Toyota 86 in Japan, GT-86 in Europe, and Scion FR-S in North America, this vehicle captured the imagination of car enthusiasts worldwide upon its release in 2012. Tamiya has brought this beloved car to the R/C community with the 58530 model, mounted on the versatile TA06 chassis.
The TA06 chassis is renowned for its balance and versatility, making it a perfect match for the Toyota 86 body. This mid-level assembly kit offers a 4WD drivetrain with a dog bone drive line and gear differentials, providing a stable and responsive driving experience. The fully independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers ensure smooth handling, while the adjustable features allow hobbyists to fine-tune their setup for optimal performance.
Tamiya’s attention to detail is evident in the clear polycarbonate body, which faithfully replicates the sleek lines of the real Toyota 86. The kit includes vinyl stickers for added realism, although builders will need to supply their own polycarbonate paint to complete the look. The plastic chassis and shielded ball bearings provide durability and reliability, essential for both casual racers and serious competitors.
The Tamiya 58530 Toyota 86 on the TA06 chassis is ideal for R/C enthusiasts who appreciate scale realism and performance tuning. Whether you're a beginner looking to explore the world of R/C racing or an experienced hobbyist seeking a new project, this kit offers a rewarding assembly experience and excellent on-road capabilities.
