Tamiya 58716 GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid presented on TT-02

The Tamiya GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid is modelled here as the Tamiya 58716 kit, echoing the compact rally contender that ran under Rally1 regulations in 2022. The full-size car combines hybrid assistance with a turbocharged engine to produce over 500PS and 500Nm, and this RC interpretation brings that aggressive profile and driving character into a 1/10 scale kit for hobby use.

TT-02 chassis features and tuning tips

The TT-02 chassis is prized for its balance between simplicity and upgrade potential. The shaft-driven 4WD architecture delivers consistent traction, while sensible battery and motor placement aids handling stability. Using identical suspension arms and easy-access gearboxes keeps maintenance simple, and you can fine tune wheelbase, ride height and gearing to suit sprint stages or casual runs.

Authentic exterior with race-inspired fittings

The lightweight polycarbonate body mirrors the aerodynamic lines of the real GR Yaris and includes separate front light cases for a faithful look. Note the front LED housings are for show only, while the kit supplies moulded parts like side mirrors, a two-piece rear wing and side ducts. The model rides on dark gunmetal multi-spoke wheels with racing radial tyres for a familiar rally stance.

On the TT-02 chassis the Tamiya GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid delivers realistic rally aesthetics with a flexible base for upgrades, suitable for competitive hobbyists and those new to rally-style RCs.

You will need a 2-channel transmitter and receiver, a compatible steering servo, and a 7.2-7.4V battery pack with charger to power the model.
The TT-02 is a solid base for club-level racing after some setup work; performance improves with suspension, tyre and gear ratio tuning tailored to your track conditions.
Use polycarbonate-safe spray paints such as Tamiya PS colours. Mask the clear areas before painting and follow recommended drying times for a durable finish.
Spare TT-02 parts and hop-up options are widely available from hobby retailers and online stores, including upgrade arms, shocks and drivetrain components.
