Tamiya TT-02 Subaru BRZ R&D Sport 2014 RC On Road Car Electric 4WD 1/10 Scale Kit

This radio control model recreates the R&D Sport-run Subaru BRZ, a car entered in the GT300 class of the Japanese Super GT series. While the car retains the general atmosphere of the road-going BRZ, it has been significantly modified for the racing series, with a racy wide and low form. Subaru's motorsports arm STI tuned the 2-litre 4-cylinder boxer, which has an output of 350ps and impressive torque of 45kgf·m. The car enjoyed positive progress in the 2014 season, with a number of promising qualifying performances leading to improved results later in the year. This model recreates the car as it appeared in Round 2 of the season in Fuji. Separate parts are included in the kit to recreate the side mirrors and rear wing, and markings are provided to recreate BRZ and sponsor logos, as well as car numbers.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.
