Tamiya 58563 Ferrari 458 Challenge TA-06 1/10 Assembly Kit  [58563]

Race-Bred Replica by Tamiya 58563

The Tamiya 58563 Ferrari 458 Challenge is a faithful 1/10 representation of the track-only 458 Challenge. Introduced in 2009 as a racing variant of the 458 Italia and replacing the F430, the full-size car featured development input from Michael Schumacher and used a 4,500cc powerplant with 570ps at 9,000 rpm. This RC model places that racing pedigree onto the TA-06 chassis.

TA-06 Chassis Breakdown

The TA-06 platform is designed to offer both grip and tuning potential for on-road duties. As a 4WD system it gives stable traction, while its mid-level construction keeps the centre of gravity manageable. The dual-drive layout combines belt-driven front wheels with gear-driven rears, delivering a balance of responsiveness and driveline feel.

Adjustment Options and Ride Characteristics

This kit supports thorough setup work, including changes to suspension geometry, camber and toe. The sealed oil-filled gear differentials guarantee smooth torque handoff, and the inboard front suspension helps achieve a compact frontal profile. The package suits both hands-on builders and those chasing improved lap times.

The Tamiya 58563 Ferrari 458 Challenge is a great option for enthusiasts who want accurate scale detailing and a chassis that responds to setup refinements.
