Tamiya 84227 Renault 5 Turbo Rally 1/12 M-05Ra Edition  [84227]

Compact rally styling with practical chassis upgrades

The Tamiya 84227 captures the character of the Renault 5 Turbo in a 1/12 R/C kit that balances period looks with usable handling. Mounted on the M-05Ra chassis, the car gains added clearance and extended suspension travel for comfortable running on both smooth tarmac and firm dirt.

What the M-05Ra brings to the table

The M-05Ra adapts the classic M-05 chassis for rally conditions by increasing the suspension stroke and lift. The 210mm short wheelbase gives nimble handling, making quick direction changes and tight cornering straightforward.

Body, wheels and handling extras

The kit includes a polycarbonate body that lets you recreate authentic liveries. Matte-finished gold plated wheels are supplied as a bonus and the rally block tyres offer dependable traction on a variety of surfaces.

Electronics and finishing essentials

A 540-type brushed motor is fitted in the kit to provide steady, manageable power. To complete the model you will need a 2-channel radio and servos, a 6-cell battery with a Tamiya connector and a charger, plus paints and hand tools for assembly.

The Tamiya 84227 Renault 5 Turbo Rally kit is a great choice for modellers who want a period correct rally car that can also be set up for club runs. It is both a display piece and a capable runner with the right setup.
