Tamiya 58394 1/10 RC Eclipse Advan SC430 (TA05-IFS Chassis)

Based on a luxury coupe made by Lexus, the SC430 race cars used in Japan’s Super GT racing series combines an aerodynamic body made mostly from carbon fiber with a powerful front-mounted 4.5 liter V8 engine. Of the teams that entered the SC430 for the 2007 Super GT season, one of the most instantly recognizable is the Eclipse Advan machine. This No.25 car is driven by Takeshi Tsuchiya and Manabu Orido, and features a brilliant team livery with white base color and red and silver graphics. Despite it being the first season with the new car, the team made made steady progress with several Top-10 finishes throughout the 2007 season.

This R/C car’s chassis features belt-driven 4WD for high-performance racing, but the most innovative feature of the TA05-IFS chassis is the inboard front suspension setup with horizontally-mounted dampers. Of course, both the front and rear reversible suspensions can be adjusted according to driver preferences, and coupled with the well-balanced chassis layout, one-piece motor mount, and ball differentials, this machine is hard to beat on the race track.
