Reviving a Racing Legend: The Tamiya 58541 BMW M3 Sport Evo Jagermeister
The 1992 DTM season is etched in the annals of motorsport history, not least because of the iconic BMW M3 adorned in Jagermeister's vibrant livery. This legendary vehicle, piloted by the renowned Wayne Gardner, captivated audiences with its performance and style. Now, Tamiya brings this classic to life once again with their 1/10 scale RC model, the BMW M3 Sport Evo Jagermeister, mounted on the user-friendly TT-01E chassis.
Engineering Excellence with the TT-01E Chassis
The TT-01E chassis is a hallmark of Tamiya's commitment to delivering accessible yet high-performance RC kits. Featuring a full-time 4WD system and independent double wishbone suspension, this chassis ensures stability and control on any on-road track. The friction dampers and bell-crank steering mechanism contribute to precise handling, making it an excellent choice for both newcomers and seasoned racers.
Authentic Detailing in Polycarbonate
The body of this RC model is crafted from clear polycarbonate, capturing the essence of the original race car with stunning accuracy. The kit includes window painting masks and injection-molded side mirrors to enhance realism. While the model does not come with LED lights, it includes light buckets for those who wish to add them later.
Performance and Customization Potential
Equipped with a 540-brushed motor and TEU-105BK ESC, the BMW M3 Sport Evo offers a balanced performance out of the box. The adjustable gear ratio and ride height allow hobbyists to fine-tune their setups for optimal performance on different tracks. However, keep in mind that this kit requires additional components such as a 7.2V battery, charger, radio gear, servo, and receiver to complete the build.
