Scale GR Yaris with measured performance and detail

Launched in 2020, the Tamiya 58684 GR Yaris captures the compact sporting lines of the road car in 1/10 scale. The model reproduces the three-door hatch profile and GR-FOUR sports 4WD visual elements, making it a solid choice for collectors and drivers who value accurate presentation and controllable performance.

Detailed shell and period-correct styling

The clear polycarbonate body mirrors the GR Yaris front grille, the pronounced rear wheel arches and the aerodynamic roof spoiler. It is built on the M-05 chassis, which is noted for a low centre of gravity and confident handling. The fitted black 11-spoke wheels and treaded tyres complete the authentic look.

M-05 chassis composition and on-track traits

The M-05 chassis is engineered to balance mass and lower the centre of gravity. The front-drive styled system incorporates a semi-monocoque resin frame for rigidity and straightforward assembly. A 239mm L wheelbase aids stability, while double wishbone suspension and a three-piece steering linkage deliver composed cornering performance.

The Tamiya 58684 GR Yaris delivers a faithful model and a steady chassis platform, suited to modellers who want both display-quality detail and dependable driving manners.

A standard 2.4GHz 2-channel radio with a quality servo provides precise steering and throttle response. Match the servo size to the servo mounts and steering linkage travel for best results.
Polycarbonate bodies are painted from the inside using polycarbonate paints, which is straightforward once masking is planned. Start with light coats and allow drying time between layers for a smooth finish.
Begin with neutral camber and slight toe-in for stability, then fine tune based on steering response and tyre wear. Small adjustments go a long way with the M-05's precise handling.
