The Renault 5 Turbo stamped its authority on rally stages during its heyday, and Tamiya brings that character to a 1/10 R/C model. The kit reproduces period details and pairs the body with the M-05Ra chassis for authentic rally behavior in model form.
The M-05Ra adapts the M-05 into a rally-focused setup, keeping a front-wheel-drive configuration and a narrow semi-monocoque resin frame for strength without excess weight. It uses 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and specially revised hub carriers and uprights to lift clearance by 5mm for uneven surfaces.
The kit includes a formed polycarbonate bodyshell with a separate plastic front bumper for accuracy. Window masks and decal sheets are supplied to help reproduce authentic liveries. Built on a 210mm wheelbase, the car fits 8-spoke wheels and rally block tyres, and a range of Hop-Up Option parts is available for those wanting to enhance speed or durability.
The Tamiya 47435 Renault 5 Turbo is a compact, faithful kit that appeals to modellers and drivers wanting a rally-themed project with room to upgrade.
