Tamiya 1/10 TT-02 1991 Audi V8 Touring Electric RC Car– TRT with ESC, Servo & Transmitter

Overview

This Tamiya R/C kit recreates the classic Audi DTM racing car as raced during the DTM 1991 season. The Audi V8 touring car had a 456hp 3.6-litre V8 which graced the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) racing series in Germany. In that season, it took four victories overall and carried Frank Biela to the drivers title.

This Tamiya R/C kit recreates the classic 1992 Audi V8 Touring from 1992. We have faithfully recreated this classic racing car with a detailed polycarbonate body and mated it with our entry-level and user-friendly TT-02 chassis.

About the Audi V8 Touring:

The 1992 Audi V8 Touring employed an improved 3.6-liter V8 engine, Audis famed quattro four-wheel drive, and an imposing body. It overcame significant ballast handicaps and showed off overwhelming strength, particularly in a podium sweep at the 1st race of the 2nd meet at the Nrburgring.

Adaptable TT-02 Chassis offers balanced shaft driven 4WD

The shaft driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to offer excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports.
