Revving Up with the Tamiya Ford Mustang GT4
For those who crave the adrenaline of high-speed racing, the Tamiya 58664-60A Ford Mustang GT4 brings the racetrack right to your fingertips. Inspired by the real-world muscle of the Ford Shelby GT350R-C, this 1/10 scale RC car is a tribute to Ford Performance's collaboration with Multimatic Motorsports. It's a formidable competitor in series like the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge and the GT4 European Series, making it a must-have for both collectors and racers.
TT-02 Chassis: A Foundation of Versatility
The TT-02 chassis is renowned for its adaptability and ease of assembly, making it the perfect platform for this model. Its shaft-driven 4WD system is designed for stability, with the battery and motor strategically placed to balance the car's weight. The chassis offers multiple configurations, including two wheelbases and ten gear ratios, allowing for personalized setups to match your racing style. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned racer, the TT-02 provides a robust foundation for performance enhancement.
Design Details that Excite
The polycarbonate body of the Mustang GT4 is crafted with precision, using actual car CAD data to ensure every curve and line is true to its real-life counterpart. With pre-cut wheel arches and separate plastic components for the rear wing and side mirrors, assembling this model is a straightforward yet rewarding experience. The gunmetal, 10-spoke wheels matched with slick tires not only exude style but are ready to grip the track with authority.
Enhance Your Racing Experience
Included with the kit is Tamiya's Torque Tuned Motor, providing ample power to get you started on the track. However, as the ESC (Electronic Speed Control) is not included, this leaves room for enthusiasts to choose a speed controller that best suits their performance needs. This flexibility allows for a tailored driving experience, whether you’re casually cruising or competitively racing.
