Tamiya 1:10 RC Porsche Carrera RSR 2.8 BT-01 2WD

The 2WD BT-01 chassis – which offers choices of FF/MR/FR drive system – welcomes another R/C kit; this time, a short wheelbase, midship rear motor / rear wheel drive (MR) setup with the body which recreates the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8. The Porsche Carrera RS 2.7 is a legend of the Porsche 911 series. Developed to join European GT races in 1973, it employed a 2,687cc horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine capable of 210hp, a lightweight body with improved aerodynamics, and wide rear tires. The Carrera RSR 2.8 racing version increased displacement to 2,808cc and output to over 300hp; in 1973, it was a European GT race champion and took numerous global victories.

About the BT-01 Chassis:
The 2WD BT-01 chassis offers the choice of two types of wheelbases and a front or rear wheel drive system. Without removing the battery, motor and R/C equipment from the center frame, simply change the orientation of the axle gears and steering linkage to switch between front and rear wheel drive. For rear wheel drive vehicles, the motor position can be selected at the front (FR) or midships at the rear (MR). The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features a symmetrical structure with friction dampers. Unified sections such as motor mount, axle gear and suspension facilitate assembly and effective maintenance.
