Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4 RC Kit Hatsune Miku TT-01E  [58442]

Distinctive Livery on a Classic Tamiya BMW Z4: 58442

Tamiya kits are known for lift-out detail and build quality. The Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4 RC Kit presents the Hatsune Miku themed livery at 1/10 scale, modelled after the Team Studie GLAD Racing car to give a faithful miniature of the Super GT300 competitor.

History of the Race Car Design

The real BMW Z4 from Team Studie GLAD competed in the 2009 Super GT season and gained attention for merging anime artwork with race car graphics. Tamiya reproduces that distinctive visual style so modellers can enjoy the same iconic look at reduced scale.

Platform Details and Driving Traits

Built on the TT-01 Type-E chassis, the kit features a shaft-driven 4-wheel drive system for predictable handling. The chassis is widely regarded for its robustness and straightforward serviceability, appealing to both beginners and experienced builders. Slick tyres and BBS-style mesh wheels help deliver a controlled contact patch on smooth circuits.

Lighting Systems and Customisation Routes

The kit includes two red and two yellow 5mm LEDs operated by the TLU-01 Light Control Unit. For larger lighting schemes, the optional TLU-02 will control up to 32 LEDs. There is a broad catalogue of option parts available to personalise performance and aesthetics.

The Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4 RC Kit blends a striking livery with a tried-and-tested chassis, making it suitable for display shelves and entry-level competitive use.
