The Tamiya 58300: A Tribute to the ABT Audi TT-R DTM
For RC enthusiasts who appreciate precision engineering and authentic replication, the Tamiya 58300 offers an exciting glimpse into the world of professional touring cars. This 1/10 scale model is built on the TA04SS chassis, renowned for its short wheelbase and enhanced maneuverability. It's a perfect choice for those who value both aesthetics and performance in their RC models.
Chassis Dynamics: The TA04SS Advantage
The TA04SS chassis is a marvel of design, specifically tailored for sharper turning capabilities. By shortening the wheelbase by 10mm compared to its predecessor, the TA04-S, this model enhances agility and responsiveness—key traits for competitive on-road racing. The double wishbone suspension and 4WD dual belt drive ensure stability and precise control, making it ideal for both seasoned racers and hobbyists looking to refine their skills.
Dual Body Options for Authentic Replication
One of the standout features of the Tamiya 58300 is the inclusion of two polycarbonate bodies—a lightweight version and a standard one. These bodies accurately capture the sleek, rounded form of the real-world ABT Audi TT-R DTM. With decal options for five different markings, you can customize your car to reflect your personal style or replicate the iconic liveries of the racing circuit.
Performance and Customization Potential
Equipped with an electric 540 motor, the Tamiya 58300 provides reliable power for thrilling races. The 7.08:1 gear ratio complements the motor's output, ensuring balanced speed and torque. For those who love to tinker, a wide array of hop-up options, such as the TA04 Aluminum gear hub and Carbon damper stays, are available to enhance performance further. Whether you're optimizing for speed or handling, the customization possibilities are vast.
