Mastering the Track with the Tamiya 58504 Audi R8 LMS

The Nurburgring 24 Hours is a legendary endurance race that challenges over 200 cars on its demanding 20km circuit. Among the champions of this event is the Audi R8 LMS, known for its class victory in 2010. Tamiya's 1/10 scale R/C model captures the essence of this racing marvel, offering enthusiasts a chance to recreate its iconic design. From the detailed side mirrors to the rear wing, every aspect has been meticulously reproduced. The included sticker sheet allows you to bring the vibrant livery to life, making it a standout on any track.

The TT-01 Type-E Chassis: A Foundation of Performance

At the heart of this model lies the TT-01 Type-E chassis, renowned for its durability and balance. The shaft-driven 4WD system ensures consistent power delivery, while the bathtub frame positions the motor and battery low, optimizing the center of gravity. This setup is complemented by a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck, enhancing rigidity and steering precision through a 3-piece tie rod system. The car's agility is further supported by a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and front/rear differential gears, making it a formidable competitor on any track.

Realistic Features for an Authentic Experience

Tamiya has equipped this model with racing radial tires, complete with realistic tread patterns mounted on sleek black dish wheels. The attention to detail extends to the specifications, with dimensions measuring 434mm in length, 194mm in width, and 122mm in height, all set on a 257mm wheelbase. The model includes a Type 540 motor, though an electronic speed controller must be purchased separately to complete the setup.

The Tamiya 58504 Audi R8 LMS is ideal for both racing enthusiasts and collectors. Its combination of detailed design and robust performance features make it a versatile addition to any RC collection.
