Tamiya 58488 Sumo Power GT Nissan GT-R TA06 1/10 Scale Kit  [58488]

Race Replica: Sumo Power GT Nissan GT-R on TA06

Model makers looking for a race-ready replica will recognise the appeal of the Tamiya 58488 Sumo Power GT Nissan GT-R. This 1/10 scale kit reproduces the Sumo Power GT competitor from the 2010 FIA GT1 season and is mounted on the adaptable TA06 chassis.

Chassis and drivetrain overview

The TA06 chassis gives a stable, adjustable base with a 4WD dual-belt drive to smooth out power delivery. The mid-rear motor location improves balance and traction, while the independent double wishbone suspension and CVA oil dampers deliver consistent handling across prepared surfaces.

Components and setup flexibility

The Tamiya 58488 is fitted with full ball bearings to lower friction and threaded turnbuckles for quick alignment changes. The battery bay accepts NiCd, NiMh, LiFe, and LiPo options so you can tailor weight and runtimes. Stock medium-narrow slicks mounted to 18-spoke wheels give authentic period styling and predictable grip.

Scale detail and modification options

The polycarbonate GT-1 Spec Nissan GT-R body includes separate side mirrors and a rear wing, providing sharp scale detail. It also works with most TA05 and TA06 body choices, making it easy to swap liveries or test aerodynamic upgrades.

The Tamiya 58488 Sumo Power GT Nissan GT-R offers a good balance of scale authenticity and a tunable TA06 platform for race practice or display.
