TT-01 Type-E Chassis Characteristics

The TT-01 Type-E platform is appreciated for its rugged build and straightforward tuning, suiting both novices and seasoned tuners. Its symmetrical drivetrain encourages balanced handling, while the low centre of gravity aids stability at speed. The chassis accepts many hop-up components to refine handling for racing or road use.

Authentic Styling and Drive Performance

The Tamiya 57889 is supplied with a detailed polycarbonate body that accurately reflects the Petronas Tom's RC F silhouette. The precise shaping helps both scale appearance and aerodynamic balance. With an electric motor installation, the model delivers smooth acceleration and predictable control on sealed surfaces.

Accessible Entry and Long-Term Appeal

From first-time drivers to collectors seeking historically inspired models, the Tamiya 57889 suits a wide range of users. The ready-to-run format keeps initial setup brief, while the TT-01 Type-E chassis provides clear upgrade paths for those who want to enhance pace and handling.

The Tamiya 57889 blends authentic race styling with a user-friendly TT-01 Type-E platform, making it a reliable choice for both hobbyists and competitive newcomers.

Many components are compatible across TT-01 families, but check part codes as some Type-E specific parts and mounting points may differ.
Low-profile touring car tyres with a suitable compound for the track surface will give the best grip and handling for station-surfaced tarmac.
Keep the shell in a cool shaded spot away from direct sunlight and avoid stacking heavy items on it to prevent warping or paint yellowing.
With sensible setup changes and selected hop-ups, the TT-01 Type-E based Tamiya 57889 can be prepared for entry-level touring car classes at club meets.
