Tamiya 1:10 RC Audi V8 1992 Touringcar (TT-02) kit

'90s Powerhouse

The Audi V8 is something of a legend in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM), having taken back-to-back championships in 1990 and 1991. It also raced in 1992, with a more powerful 3.6-liter V8 engine and improvements across the board, and powered by Audi's famed quattro four-wheel drive. Highlights included a clean sweep of the podium in the first race at the Nürburgring, the second meet of the season. 

This R/C model assembly kit recreates the 1992 iteration of the V8, with a polycarbonate body capturing its powerful form in style. Also included are front and rear polycarbonate light cases, plus stickers to recreate sponsor logos and red livery sections.

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. Silver 10-spoke wheels use tread patterned semi-pneumatic tires.
