Reviving Racing Heritage: The Tamiya Nissan GT-R TT-01E Experience
The Tamiya 58411 - 1/10 Nissan GT-R TT-01E is more than just a scale model; it's a tribute to the legendary Nissan GT-R, a vehicle that has captured the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide. Emerging from the concept stage in 2001 and making its grand debut at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, the Nissan GT-R quickly established itself as a powerhouse on the track. With its 3,799cc twin-turbo DOHC V6 engine, this supercar became renowned for its blistering speed, setting records on Germany's Nürburgring circuit. Yet, it remained versatile enough for everyday driving, embodying Nissan’s vision of a "multi-performance" supercar.
Chassis Evolution: The TT-01E Advantage
The TT-01E chassis represents a significant evolution in Tamiya's lineup, featuring newly designed A and D parts crafted from fiberglass-reinforced resin. This material not only enhances durability but also allows for easier maintenance. The integration of TA05 steering posts improves steering response, offering sharper handling that mimics high-level race specifications. The addition of a new upper deck increases chassis rigidity, providing a stable platform for competitive racing. An integrated transponder mount encourages enthusiasts to take their GT-R to the local track, experiencing the thrill of R/C racing firsthand.
Attention to Detail: A Realistic GT-R Body
The Nissan GT-R's iconic silhouette is faithfully recreated with a lightweight polycarbonate body, complete with injection-molded side mirrors and rear wing for added realism. The new wheels feature a +2 offset, enhancing the car's stance and performance. Equipped with an ESC (TEU-101BK), Type 540 motor, and LED-ready light cases, the kit provides a solid foundation for customization. However, a 2-channel R/C system, 7.2V battery, and charger are required to bring this model to life.
