Unleashing the Drift: Tamiya's TT-02D Toyota Supra
For RC enthusiasts with a penchant for precision drifting, the Tamiya 58613-60A Toyota Supra offers a thrilling experience. Built on the versatile TT-02D chassis, this 1/10 scale model is a seamless blend of iconic automotive design and high-performance engineering. Inspired by the legendary Toyota Supra, known for its dominance in motorsports and cultural significance in the automotive world, this RC car embodies the spirit of a true drift icon.
Engineering Excellence: The TT-02D Chassis
The TT-02D chassis is a specially tuned drift variant of Tamiya's popular shaft-driven 4WD platform. It offers a robust and adaptable foundation, ideal for both beginners and seasoned drifters. The chassis features fully independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers, allowing for precise handling and smooth transitions on the track. With adjustable parameters, including camber, gear ratio, and ground clearance, tuning your Supra for optimal drift performance becomes an engaging part of the hobby.
Iconic Design with a Modern Twist
Tamiya has faithfully recreated the Supra's sleek lines and aggressive stance in polycarbonate form, complete with separately molded side mirrors and rear wing parts. The included carbon pattern decals add a layer of authenticity, enhancing the model's visual appeal. The 24mm width drift-spec tires mounted on metal-plated mesh wheels ensure you not only look the part but also perform with style.
Power and Precision Without Compromise
Under the hood, the Supra is powered by a 540-brushed motor complemented by an aluminum heat sink, ensuring efficient thermal management during intense runs. While the kit does not include an Electronic Speed Control (ESC), it allows hobbyists the freedom to select one that best suits their driving style and performance needs. This flexibility is perfect for those looking to customize their setup for either competitive racing or casual drifting.
