Tamiya 58506 Ferrari 599XX TA-06 Race Replica Kit  [58506]

TA-06 Background and the Scale Ferrari 599XX

Tamiya set touring car benchmarks beginning with the TA-01 in 1992 and the TA-06 continues that tradition. Developed with insights from the TRF championship effort, this chassis aims to centralise mass and refine balance for improved handling with brushless powertrains and compact batteries.

Dual-Drive Principle and Chassis Layout

The TA-06 features a dual-drive system combining a belt-driven front section with a gear-driven rear to smooth out power delivery. The monocoque layout keeps the motor and battery close to the centreline, supporting both IFS and conventional outboard suspension choices for low-profile sports bodies.

What Makes the Ferrari 599XX Special

The Ferrari 599XX, launched in 2009, is a track-development machine derived from Ferrari race tech. Its 5,999cc V12 develops roughly 700 horsepower and uses ACTIFLOW aerodynamics to increase downforce without significantly raising drag. The Tamiya body captures the race-bred silhouette for model scale racing.

Customization, Parts Sharing and Batteries

The TA-06 allows parts interchange with earlier Tamiya kits like the TA-05, covering suspension and steering hardware and optional aluminium components for stiffer mounting. It accepts NiCd, NiMh, LiFe and LiPo battery types so you can select the chemistry that suits your driving style.

The Tamiya 58506 Ferrari 599XX TA-06 chassis kit is well suited to modellers who want a race-capable base with plenty of tuning potential. It combines classic Tamiya engineering with modern setup options.
