A Classic Rally Champion Reimagined for RC Enthusiasts
The Tamiya 46617 - 1/10 RC RTR XBS Celica GT4 1990 is not just any remote-controlled car; it’s a tribute to the legendary Toyota Celica GT-Four that dominated the 1990 World Rally Championship with four remarkable victories, including the prestigious Rally of Great Britain. This model combines historical significance with modern RC technology, making it a must-have for both collectors and racers.
Unleashing the Potential of the TT-01ES Chassis
At the heart of this RC car lies the TT-01ES chassis, a refined version of the well-loved TT-01 Type-E. Known for its versatility, the TT-01ES allows for extensive customization with various option parts, making it an ideal choice for hobbyists who love to tweak and fine-tune their machines. The 4WD shaft drive transmission ensures optimal power distribution, giving you the edge in handling and speed.
Performance That Mirrors the Real World
Equipped with a Type 540 motor and TEU-104BK ESC, this model delivers impressive performance straight out of the box. The independent double wishbone suspension system, coupled with friction dampers, provides stability and control, even on challenging surfaces. While the polycarbonate body comes pre-finished, it accurately replicates the iconic design of the rally champion, adding an authentic touch to your RC experience.
Additional Setup Tips for Enthusiasts
For those looking to push the limits of this model, consider upgrading the dampers and experimenting with different tire compounds to suit your driving style and track conditions. Remember, while the model is ready-to-run, you'll need to supply a 7.2 Volt battery pack, charger, and AA batteries for the transmitter to get started.
