Overview

Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

This Tamiya R/C kit recreates the classic Audi DTM racing car as raced during the 1991 DTM season. The Audi V8 touring car had a 456hp 3.6-litre V8 engine and Audi's famed Quattro four-wheel drive. In that season, it took four victories overall and carried Frank Biela to the drivers' title.

This model depicts the 4-door sedan body in polycarbonate with front and rear spoilers. With its imposing body, the Audi overcame significant ballast handicaps and stiff competition from the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz to bear driver Frank Biela to four wins and a superb Driver's Championship.

The shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right for excellent stability. It features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios.

Note

This body shell comes completely unpainted and may or may not require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a polycarbonate-style paint such as the Tamiya PS series to finish these bodies, as standard paints will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface.
