Step into the thrilling world of rally racing with this meticulously crafted 1/10 scale R/C model of the iconic Audi quattro Rallye A2. Known for its pioneering 4WD technology, the Audi quattro made its mark in the rally world back in 1983, and now you can relive that excitement with this detailed assembly kit from Tamiya.
A Legend Reimagined
This model captures the essence of the legendary rally car with an accurately recreated polycarbonate body. It features separate parts for side mirrors, a rear wing, and light cases, ensuring every detail is as close to the real thing as possible. The model sits atop the adaptable TT-02 chassis, which is known for its balance and performance.
TT-02 Chassis: Performance Meets Versatility
The TT-02 chassis is a marvel of engineering, offering a shaft-driven 4WD system with a longitudinal layout. This design places the battery on the left and the motor on the right, providing excellent stability and balance. The chassis is not only easy to assemble, thanks to identical left and right suspension arms and uprights, but it also offers a range of customization options.
