The Renault 5 Turbo is an iconic name in the world of rally racing, having made its mark in the World Rally Championship (WRC) since its debut in 1978. Known for its distinctive design and powerful performance, this car achieved notable victories during the early to mid-1980s. Tamiya brings this legendary vehicle to life in a 1/10 scale R/C model, perfectly capturing the essence of the original with its M-05Ra chassis.
The M-05Ra chassis is a rally-tuned version of the popular M-05, offering adaptability for both gravel and tarmac terrains. This front-wheel-drive platform features a lightweight, narrow semi-monocoque resin frame that ensures durability and ease of assembly. The chassis is equipped with a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension system, enhanced with specially designed hub carriers and uprights to increase ground clearance by 5mm, making it ideal for diverse driving conditions.
The model boasts a detailed polycarbonate body, complete with a separate molded plastic component for the front bumper, providing an authentic look. It comes with stickers for decoration and window masking stickers for painting. The 210mm S wheelbase supports 8-spoke wheels paired with rally block tires, ready to tackle any course. For those looking to enhance performance, a variety of Hop-Up Option parts are available, allowing hobbyists to push the limits of their builds.
The Tamiya 47435 Renault 5 Turbo is suitable for both beginners and seasoned racers. Its robust chassis and adaptable design make it a great choice for those interested in rally-style RC racing or collectors who appreciate detailed replicas of classic racing cars.
