Touring Car Heritage Recreated by Tamiya 58699

Enthusiasts and collectors can assemble a faithful 1/10 scale replica of the 1992 Audi V8 Touring with this Tamiya 58699 kit. It pairs a scale-accurate polycarbonate body with the proven TT-02 chassis to capture the look and feel of period touring cars.

Highlights from the 1992 Audi V8 Touring Campaign

The production car featured a 3.6-liter V8 and the quattro four-wheel drive system, which translated into strong circuit results including a significant performance at the Nurburgring. This model mirrors the car's stance and characteristic details for authentic display and running sessions.

Balance and Practicality of the TT-02 Chassis

The TT-02 chassis uses a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement known for balanced handling. Its longitudinal layout separates battery and motor to aid weight distribution. Symmetrical suspension parts streamline construction, while adjustable wheelbase, ground clearance, and track width let you fine tune ride and handling. Ten gear choices allow further speed and acceleration adjustments.

The TT-02 can be made competitive with common upgrades such as stiffer dampers, improved bearings, and tuning gears. Many clubs run modified TT-02 cars in entry-level classes.
Regular cleaning and greasing of the shaft drives and gears helps longevity. Check for wear on dogbones and diff components and replace parts as needed to keep performance consistent.
Yes. The TT-02 accommodates standard-sized servos, modern ESCs, and 7.2-7.4V battery packs. Verify fitment and cable routing when installing larger components.
Apply several light coats of polycarbonate paint rather than one heavy coat. Use the supplied masking stickers for windows and detail areas, and allow ample drying time between layers.
