The Tamiya 58516 - 1/10 RC BMW 318i STW reproduces the lines of the historic Super Touren Wagen contender in a compact, build-it-yourself format. The polycarbonate body mirrors the original profile, and the separately moulded mirrors plus rear wing enhance the period-correct presentation.
Under the body the TT-01 Type-E chassis offers a blend of ease-of-build and solid on-road performance. The shaft-driven 4WD layout promotes stable traction and the positioning of the motor and battery helps keep the centre of gravity down for improved cornering. The fibreglass nylon upper deck adds structural support.
Featuring 4-wheel double wishbone geometry and front and rear differential gears, the TT-01 Type-E provides consistent steering manners. Oil-filled dampers permit tuning to match grip levels while slick tyres mounted on white mesh wheels deliver effective traction on tarmac and asphalt surfaces.
The Tamiya 58516 - 1/10 RC BMW 318i STW is well suited to enthusiasts who want a historically styled touring car chassis that is straightforward to build and tune for varied driving conditions.
