Tamiya 58299 TB Evolution III Competition Touring Kit  [58299]

TB Evolution III: chassis refinement and balance

Serious RC enthusiasts will find the Tamiya 58299 TB Evolution III to be a refined touring car kit designed for control and tuneability. The TB series heritage, with links back to the 1994 TGX nitro platform, informs the car's focus on weight balance and drivability for sedan racing.

Purposeful drivetrain and weight layout

The motor and battery placement are arranged to reduce torque steer and to improve throttle precision. With the motor mounted on the right and batteries to the left, the car delivers a more neutral centre of gravity for predictable handling.

Carbon chassis and suspension tuning options

The double-deck carbon chassis has been narrowed to quicken steering response while a redesigned centre drive shaft and aluminium spur adaptor reduce unwanted vibration. Suspension parts inherited from the 414MII feature adjustable blocks to alter roll centre, anti-squat and anti-dive for a tailored setup.

Component slimming for improved dynamics

Weight reductions come from lighter differential outdrives and revised bulkheads, cutting around 40g versus previous designs. That weight saving contributes to crisper turn-in and improved acceleration feel.

The Tamiya 58299 TB Evolution III is a refined build for competitive-minded hobbyists who prioritise handling and precise setup. Its lightweight changes and refined driveline make it well suited to circuit racing and dedicated testing sessions.
