Enthusiasts and collectors will recognise the Tamiya 58718 - 1/10 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165) 4WD (TT-02) as a faithful homage to a rally legend. The clear polycarbonate body reproduces the Celica GT-Four silhouette and is ideal for accurate paint and decal work.
The TT-02 platform supplies a reliable, shaft-driven 4WD setup that helps maintain traction and composure on the road. The longitudinal arrangement, with the battery on the left and motor on the right, contributes to consistent weight distribution for everyday driving and light competition use.
This chassis offers practical tuning choices including two wheelbase positions, adjustable ride heights and tread options. You can also select from ten gear ratios to match your preferred balance of acceleration and speed.
Small touches such as brake disc style wheel hubs and a period-style front bumper add authenticity. The 1.0mm polycarbonate body mounts to white rally dish wheels fitted with radial tyres that match the era's appearance.
The kit supplies livery stickers and window masking tape for neat finishing. An ESC and a 540-brushed type motor are included, leaving you to fit a 2-channel radio, steering servo and a 7.2-7.4 volt battery with charger to complete the model.
The Tamiya 58718 - 1/10 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165) 4WD (TT-02) makes a fine choice for anyone looking for a scale-accurate rally model built on a flexible chassis. It suits display projects and straightforward on-road rally running alike.
