Tamiya 58228 1/10 Ford Mustang Cobra R TL-01 Chassis Kit - Heritage Edition  [58228]

Heritage Mustang Cobra R by Tamiya

The Ford Mustang Cobra R is a standout in muscle car history, noted for its aggressive look and track focus. Tamiya scales that presence down to 1/10 on the TL-01 chassis, delivering an accurate shell and a chassis that responds well to setup changes.

What the TL-01 chassis offers

The TL-01 is built for stable, on-road performance, with a 4WD shaft drive that keeps traction predictable. Fully independent double wishbone suspension gives fine steering response, and the included 540-brushed motor provides consistent, easy-to-manage power for everyday running.

Body detailing and painting approach

The clear polycarbonate body reproduces the Cobra R lines and supports inside-out painting for clean finishes. Detailed panel lines and the racing-style rear wing help achieve an authentic scale appearance once painted and trimmed.

Tuning choices and upgrades

Adjustable gear options and ride height let you tailor the TL-01 to suit circuit layouts or display preferences. The standard wheelbase and track yield balanced handling, while the radial tyres are suited to smooth surfaces. Many builders upgrade the mechanical ESC to an electronic speed controller to refine throttle modulation.

The Tamiya 58228 Ford Mustang Cobra R is an appealing kit for modelmakers and club racers who want a classic look with straightforward upgrade paths. It makes a great basis for both display builds and light competition use.
