Tamiya 46613 RC RTR BMW 318i STW - Classic 1/10 Touring Car

The Tamiya 46613 RC RTR BMW 318i STW captures classic touring car styling in a 1/10 scale ready-to-run model. Built on the TT-01ES chassis, it provides a practical balance of authenticity and straightforward serviceability.

About the TT-01ES Chassis

The TT-01ES is a pared-back TT-01 layout that accepts a broad range of Tamiya hop-up parts. Its reputation rests on simplicity and durability, with a four-wheel shaft drive for consistent handling and a sealed gearbox that helps keep wear to a minimum.

Performance and Drivetrain

Fitted with a 540 motor, the BMW 318i STW gives steady, predictable power suitable for club runs and practice. The bevel gear differentials and ball-bearing support help reduce losses, while the independent double wishbone suspension keeps the car composed through corners.

Scale Finish and Practical Notes

The pre-trimmed, painted shell mirrors the BMW 318i STW profile, and the kit includes treaded tyres and a foam bumper for impact protection. Plastic friction shocks are basic but serviceable, keeping costs reasonable while maintaining usable ride control.
