Scale Rally Tribute - Tamiya 47500 Celica ST185 on the TT-02

The Celica GT-Four ST185 is a celebrated rally car, and this Tamiya kit recreates it on the widely used TT-02 chassis. Developed for homologation and competition in its era, the ST185 carries a racing history that this scale model aims to reflect, offering both display quality and practical running traits.

Chassis Characteristics: Predictable and Adaptable

The TT-02 chassis features a shaft-driven four wheel drive system with the battery and motor aligned lengthwise for consistent balance. Its straightforward construction allows for different wheelbase and clearance setups, so it can be dialed in for smooth surfaces or adjusted for more challenging conditions while remaining easy to service.

Scale Details and Durable Construction

The kit includes a 1.0mm pre-painted polycarbonate shell finished in white with smoked windows for scale accuracy. The 5-spoke wheel design and racing radial tyres offer believable scale grip, and details such as brake disc style hubs and a classic front bumper contribute to an authentic rally appearance built to withstand regular use.

  • Dimensions: Length 450mm, Width 187mm, Height 136mm
  • Wheelbase: 257mm
  • Chassis: TT-02, Shaft-driven 4WD

This Tamiya TT-02 Celica GT-Four ST185 kit is a practical way to own a piece of rally history in scale, suitable for model builders who want both realism and reliable on-track performance.

The TT-02 accepts basic tuning such as changing wheelbase positions, adjusting ride height and swapping springs or tyres. For deeper performance gains, consider upgraded dampers or reinforced parts from the upgrade catalogues.
After assembly you will still need to install radio gear, a steering servo, a battery and a charger to run the car. The motor is supplied but no ESC is included, so select electronics that match your battery choice.
The 1.0mm polycarbonate body is designed to resist impacts typical of club running and general hobby use, though heavy crashes can still damage mounting tabs or shell sections.
Yes, Tamiya and third-party suppliers offer a range of upgrade parts compatible with the TT-02, allowing improved durability and handling for more competitive or demanding driving.
