The Audi Quattro A2: A Rally Legend Reborn in 1/10 Scale
The Audi Quattro A2 is not just any rally car; it's a symbol of innovation and dominance from the golden era of rally racing in the 1980s. Tamiya, renowned for bringing iconic vehicles to the RC realm, offers a stunning 1/10 scale replica that captures the essence of this legendary machine. Built on the versatile and user-friendly TT-02 chassis, this model is a must-have for both rally enthusiasts and RC hobbyists.
TT-02 Chassis: Where Adaptability Meets Performance
The TT-02 chassis is celebrated for its balance and adaptability. Its shaft-driven 4WD system features a longitudinal layout, positioning the battery on the left and the motor on the right, optimizing stability and handling. This configuration is perfect for beginners and seasoned builders alike, thanks to its straightforward assembly with identical left and right suspension components and user-friendly gearboxes.
Beyond its ease of use, the TT-02 offers customizable options like adjustable wheelbases, ground clearance, and tread setups, alongside ten gear ratio options. This makes it a flexible choice for those looking to tweak performance based on their driving style or track conditions. The chassis also includes visually appealing details, such as brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish bumper supports.
Aesthetics and Functionality: A Perfect Blend
Tamiya’s Audi Quattro A2 body is crafted with precision, molded in durable polycarbonate for long-lasting performance. Distinctive features like metal-plated ABS parts for the light cases and fog lamps add to its realistic appearance. Side mirrors, wings, and wing caps molded in white ABS contribute to the model’s authenticity.
The model includes silver 5-spoke wheels paired with racing radial tires, echoing the Quattro's rally roots. While the light cases accommodate optional LEDs to enhance nighttime realism, the fog lamps remain unlit, preserving historical accuracy.
