Tamiya 46612 Celica WRC 97 RTR TT01ES 1/10 Collector Edition  [46612]

Faithful 1997 WRC Replica in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 46612 - RC RTR Celica WRC97 faithfully represents Toyota's 1997 rally machine in compact 1/10 form. The pre-painted body and TT01ES underpinnings let enthusiasts enjoy period styling alongside straightforward mechanicals.

TT01ES Chassis Benefits

The TT01ES is a tuned-down variant of the TT-01 type E that strikes a good balance between drivability and customization. The shaft-driven 4WD layout and independent double wishbone suspension provide consistent cornering and easy-to-follow upgrade paths.

Mechanical Highlights

Featuring a Tamiya Type 540 motor and the TEU-104BK ESC, the Celica WRC97 offers steady throttle control and long-term reliability. Bevel gear differentials and a sealed gearbox reduce wear from everyday running, and the included 2-channel AM Adspec GP radio covers basic control needs.

User Tips for Better Performance

To improve handling, consider converting to oil-filled dampers and testing a range of tyre compounds. Small adjustments to camber and toe settings can help dial out understeer on twisty sections and increase mid-corner grip.

The Tamiya 46612 - RC RTR Celica WRC97 on the TT01ES chassis is a solid option for collectors and drivers who want a rally-themed RTR with scope for modest upgrades.
