Tamiya 58659 Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT/Yaris WRC (TT-02 Chassis)
A 2018 Rally Star
Developed to race in the WRC, the car boasts a 380PS, 1.6-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine and 4-wheel drive with active center differential. Thanks to features such as a 2-level wing, diffuser, front canards and prominent fenders, the aerodynamically honed body really catches the eye. This R/C model assembly kit features a lightweight polycarbonate body with multiple polycarbonate and plastic parts; stickers are included in the kit to recreate the red and black sections of the livery, as well as the numerous markings on the car.
TT-02: Adaptable, balanced shaft driven 4WD
The shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to give excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports. Gun metal color dish wheels and tread-pattern tires make for a racy finish.
