More details about future Tamiya 58730 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST185) TT-02 Chassis & 58733 Toyota Supra (JZA80) BT-01 Chassis


Tamiya is delighted to announce the appearance of another classic racing car on our popular TT-02 chassis, this time the Toyota Celica GT-Four RC (ST185).

The Toyota Celica GT-Four RC was developed as a homologation car to take part in global rally races, and in 1992, 5,000 units were sold around the world. With its curved, powerful body, this car employed a 2-liter turbo engine with metal turbines and water-based intercooler system, which was capable of 235ps.

The 4WD system utilized a centre viscous coupling and a Torsen differential at the rear for superior controllability and traction. In 1993 global rally races, the Celica GT-Four (ST185) brought both Manufacturer’s and Driver’s Championships to Toyota for the first time.

  • This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 450mm, width: 187mm, height: 136mm. Wheelbase: 257mm.
  • The lightweight, durable 1.0mm-thick polycarbonate body authentically captures the Toyota Celica GT-Four RC (ST185) in style.
  • The model utilizes the efficient shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis which features superior adaptability and stability.
  • 5-spoke wheels are paired with tread pattern racing radial tires.
  • Comes with stickers and masking stickers for use in the paint job
  • Torque Tuned Motor & ESC included

The 2WD BT-01 chassis offers choices of FF/MR/FR drive system based upon the drive system of the actual car your body recreates. Its very first body depicts the fourth generation Toyota Supra (JZA80) which was announced as a Toyota’s flagship sportscar in 1993.

Its top grade RZ model employed a 3-liter inline-6 twin turbo engine capable of 280hp, 6-speed transmission, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and ventilated disc brakes for front and rear.

The muscular form and high-spec performance mesmerised fans all over the world and achieved success in motorsports races.

  • This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 457mm, width: 185mm, height: 135mm. Wheelbase: 257mm.
  • The form of the Toyota Supra (JZA80) is realistically recreated in lightweight polycarbonate.
  • 10-spoke one-piece wheels (silver colour) are paired with racing radial tires (Item 50419).
  • Separate moulded plastic parts: mirrors, wing, light cases
  • Length: 397mm, width: 185mm. Wheelbase: 257mm / 251mm (*).
  • The 2WD BT-01 chassis gives a choice of two types of wheelbase (*), and front- or rear- wheel drive system.
  • Without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the centre frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; front (FR) or midship rear (MR) motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. (Six setups are available in total.)
  • The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers.
  • Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.
  • Many Hop-Up Option parts for TT-chassis cars can be used to fine-tune setup.
  • Type 540 motor & ESC included

• The bodywork and rear wing are made of lightweight polycarbonate (0.7 mm thick) and use a color scheme with orange lines on a black base.
The polycarbonate body is pre-cut and pre-painted in black.

Tamico 15th Anniversary Limited Edition – Dancing Rider Custom




Description:
15 years of Tamico!
We would like to celebrate this small but beautiful anniversary together with you.
And that with a very special anniversary model.
The “Tamiya Dancing Rider Custom Speed Delivery 15 Years TAMICO Limited Edition Kit”.
As the name suggests, this “Dancing Rider” really has it all.
The kit is based on a normal Dancing Rider kit.

But our “Limited Edition” comes with the following very special parts. The “highlight” is immediately noticeable. Instead of the clear and unpainted body, the kit now includes a pre-cut and actually really “chromed” body.
Instead of the original white rims of the Dancing Rider, our kit comes with the special Tamiya 54913/14 rims in neon orange.

But probably the most exclusive part of the “Dancing Rider Speed Delivery” are the included decals. These were exclusively created by us, and give the model the unique ultimate “Speed Delivery Look”. Detailed instructions for these decals in Tamiya quality are included in every kit. So that nothing goes wrong when decaling the model. The model is strictly limited to only 333 pieces. Each individual kit is exclusively numbered for this purpose.

Technical details:
– 1/8 scale kit model
– New 3-wheel chassis with rear engine and front-mounted battery pack
– Front and rear parts are connected and movable for steering movements
Stabilising arms on the sides
– Newly designed body

Scope of delivery:

Attention! Please note:
The model is limited to two pieces per customer.
The numbered kits will be shipped in the order in which the orders are received. Therefore, desired numbers cannot be taken into account.
If you would like to have a low serial number, we therefore recommend that you order quickly.
We ask for your understanding.
