The Tamiya 58544 - 1/10 RC Nissan R390 GT1 (TT-01E) offers a compact tribute to a notable endurance racer. Based on the car that raced at the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans, which used a carbon composite monocoque and a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V8, this kit focuses on authentic proportions and a satisfying build experience.
The TT-01E chassis keeps assembly approachable while delivering predictable handling characteristics. The shaft-driven 4WD system provides even power distribution, and the oil-filled dampers plus fully independent double wishbone suspension help maintain composure on flat surfaces.
Use the clear polycarbonate body to recreate period racing liveries or your own scheme. Radial rubber tyres complete the look and provide practical traction. The ESC is included in the kit, yet you will still need a 7.2V battery, charger, radio gear, servo and receiver to run the car.
Collectors will appreciate the historical styling, while club racers can make use of the kit's adjustable ride height and gear ratio settings to tune handling for different environments.
Tamiya 58544 blends period-correct styling and user-friendly engineering, making it suitable for modellers who enjoy building, painting and refining handling for the track.
