Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 Nitro RTR Heritage Replica  [43526]

DTM Heritage in a Nitro RTR Package

The Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 captures the look of the 2005 touring car season in compact nitro form, featuring the recognisable Red Bull paintwork linked to M. Ekstrom's podium finishes.

Mechanical Layout and Engine

Riding on the TNS chassis, the model uses the O.S. FS-12SW engine that delivers reliable nitro performance. The engine's dual needle carburetor and recoil starter keep tuning and starting straightforward. The double-deck construction combines reinforced aluminium with resilient plastic sections, and full ball bearings help keep components running smoothly.

Chassis Dynamics and Transmission

The car benefits from a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension for confident handling on smooth surfaces. Long-span arms and four oil dampers help control body movement, while the shaft-driven 4WD transmission distributes drive evenly. Sealed differential boxes front and rear add longevity under competitive use.

Modding and Radio Setup

Owners can fit TG10-Mk.1 Option Parts to refine handling and durability. The supplied Expec SP R/C unit with trigger-style transmitter provides familiar control ergonomics for drivers learning nitro throttle response.

This detailed nitro replica suits modelers who want an authentic DTM look with a serviceable engine and clear upgrade paths for improved lap performance.
