Tamiya's attention to detail makes this Audi V8 recreation stand out. The Tamiya 58682-60A captures the 1991 touring car aesthetic from the DTM era, a season highlighted by Frank Biela's success in the Audi V8. The kit is aimed at model enthusiasts who enjoy authentic replicas and tunable performance.
The TT-02 chassis offers a shaft-driven 4WD layout that promotes stable handling on smooth surfaces. A longitudinal arrangement slots the battery to the left and the motor to the right for balanced dynamics. The chassis supports two wheelbase settings, adjustable ground clearance and ten selectable gear ratios for tuning.
Assembly delivers a satisfying build experience with a polycarbonate body that comes with decals to reproduce the #45 Biela car. Window masking stickers are included to make painting neater. The two-piece mesh wheels feature silver rims and gold spokes and are fitted with racing slick tyres for an accurate track stance.
This kit is supplied for a brushed 540-type motor and includes a 4-bevel differential and double wishbone suspension to deliver composed handling. An ESC is not supplied, allowing builders to choose an electronic speed controller that suits their motor and driving preferences.
A fine choice for collectors and club racers who want a historically styled touring car on a straightforward, tuneable chassis.
