Tamiya 57778 Volkswagen Golf GTI Cup TT-01 Type-E RTR Heritage Edition  [57778]

One-Make Touring Action in Miniature

The Volkswagen Golf GTI Cup is a one-make championship run by Volkswagen Group Japan where drivers compete in identically prepared cars. Competitors use race-spec safety fittings like roll cages and 4-point belts, and events are spread over five races that attract a mix of experienced and new drivers.

Key Details of the TT-01 Type-E Chassis

The Tamiya 57778 model sits on the TT-01 Type-E chassis and benefits from fiberglass-reinforced resin parts for items such as damper stays and gear cases to improve toughness. TA05 steering posts sharpen steering response and the revised upper deck adds rigidity similar to Tamiya race packages. A transponder mount is supplied for timing at organised meets.

Authentic Bodywork and Electronics Fit

This kit features a 1.0mm SX4 WRC polycarbonate shell with fitted injection-moulded mirrors and a realistic rear wing. The set includes an ESC (TEU-101BK), Type 540 motor and a 2-channel radio system, plus front and rear LED lamps. A separate 7.2V battery and charger are required to run the model.

The Tamiya 57778 Volkswagen Golf GTI Cup TT-01 Type-E is a reliable choice for modellers who want accurate race styling combined with a rugged chassis ready for club racing and practice.
