The Tamiya 57777 - 1/10 XB Suzuki SX4 WRC (TT-01 TYPE-E) pays homage to Suzuki's WRC entry, replicating the look of the SX4 that raced in 2008. The real car ran with a turbocharged engine and a 4WD system, and drivers like Toni Gardemeister and Per-Gunnar Andersson helped it score points at rallies including Monte Carlo.
The TT-01 TYPE-E chassis provides a dependable base for both display and driving. Critical components such as the damper stay and gear case use fiberglass-reinforced resin for extra strength, and the updated front and rear uprights add resilience for competitive use.
The steering linkage has been refined to include TA05 steering posts, producing a more direct steering feel. The reworked upper deck enhances chassis rigidity and includes a transponder mount so users can easily time runs at organised events.
The 1.0mm polycarbonate body reproduces the SX4 WRC shape and includes injection-moulded mirrors and a rear wing for visual accuracy. The RTR package comes with an ESC (TEU-101BK), a Type 540 motor and a 2-channel R/C system, plus front and rear LEDs. A 7.2V battery pack and charger are not included and must be bought separately.
The Tamiya 57777 is well suited to newcomers seeking a straightforward RTR rally car and to enthusiasts who appreciate a period-correct WRC model. Its sturdy chassis and true-to-life detailing make it enjoyable for both driving and collecting.
