Tamiya 58681 Formula E GEN2 Car Championship Livery TC-01 Chassis unboxing



Tamiya’s new Formula E car rides on a new chassis platform, the TC-01. This is a shaft-driven 4WD setup that takes some styling cues from the TA07, so it’s certain we’ll see some great performance from this new racer.
We got our hands on a pre-release sample and are looking forward to building it but, before we do, we wanted to show you what’s in the box.
