Compact MR-S Replica with Track Presence

The Toyota MR-S gained recognition for its agile nature in racing, and Tamiya distils that character into the 1/10 Toyota MR-S Racing (TA04-SS). The model sports a hardtop shape, pronounced fenders and a prominent rear wing that recreate the car's track-oriented stance.

TA04-SS: Shorter Wheelbase, Sharper Handling

Built from the TA04-S platform, the TA04-SS reduces the wheelbase by 10mm to improve turn-in. The arrangement of suspension arms and the double wishbone setup work together to offer a balanced feel and responsive steering at speed.

Transmission Details and Tunability

The belt-driven midship full-time 4WD design provides consistent torque distribution for steady grip. CVA Mini II dampers control body motion, and the adjustable caster and toe settings allow racers to tailor handling to circuit conditions.
