The Tamiya 57715 Mugen Integra Type R: A Classic on the TT-01 Chassis
For those who appreciate the fusion of realism and performance in radio-controlled cars, the Tamiya 57715 Mugen Integra Type R offers an engaging experience. Built on the reliable TT-01 chassis, this model is a testament to Tamiya's commitment to quality and innovation in the RC world. With its expert-built design, it allows hobbyists to dive straight into the action without the hassle of assembly.
Realism Meets Performance
The Mugen Integra Type R is not just an ordinary RC car; it's a detailed replica of the iconic road vehicle known for its racing pedigree. The polycarbonate body is pre-painted and adorned with precise decals, offering two color options: pristine white or striking blue, both complemented by gold wheels. This attention to detail ensures that the car looks as good on the shelf as it does on the track.
Advanced Chassis Design
At the heart of this RC car is the TT-01 chassis, renowned for its balance and durability. The longitudinally mounted motor provides efficient power distribution through a shaft-driven 4WD system. The flat placement of the mechanism and battery within the bathtub chassis enhances stability, making it ideal for high-speed runs and tight cornering. The inclusion of large bumpers adds an extra layer of protection, safeguarding against inevitable impacts during intense races.
Control and Customization
The accompanying wheel and trigger-type transmitter is designed for intuitive control, requiring 8 AA batteries (sold separately). Additionally, the integrated CPR unit combines the receiver and electronic speed controller, allowing for seamless throttle management. Enthusiasts can further customize their driving experience by swapping out crystals to race up to six cars simultaneously without interference.
