Historic Race Car Captured for Modellers

The Scirocco GT24 is remembered for its strong endurance showing and its CNG experiment, which set it apart on the grid. This 1/10 scale Tamiya 58508 model reproduces that racing character for hobbyists who enjoy historically accurate builds.

TT-01E Chassis: Foundations for Performance

The TT-01E provides an accessible chassis with dependable behaviour. Its shaft-drive 4WD, independent double wishbone suspension and gear differentials give a predictable handling envelope. The kit uses plastic bushings by default, but fitting ball bearings is a common upgrade to reduce mechanical drag.

Detailing That Matches the Real Car

The polycarbonate body is carefully moulded and the kit supplies decals and masking film for the correct race livery. Separate mirrors and a rear spoiler increase realism. Lighting assemblies are not included but are straightforward to fit if you want functional LEDs.

Tamiya 58508 is a reliable selection for those who like scale authenticity and straightforward upgrade paths. It works well for display pieces and club track use alike.

Assembly time varies with experience but allow several evenings for a careful build including painting and decal work.
Regular checks on drivetrain play, gear mesh and chassis screws keep the TT-01E running well; clean and lube parts periodically to prevent wear.
Yes, the clear polycarbonate shell and included masking film make it a good project for learning polycarbonate painting techniques.
With suitable tyres and basic tuning, the TT-01E Scirocco is well suited to club on-road events and practice sessions.
