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.
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.
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.
