Tamiya TT02S vs M05RA RALLY – Audi Quattro vs Renault 5 Turbo gravel rally run video



Video description:

Hi there! My friend Rob had just finished his new rally car, the Tamiya Renault 5 Turbo on the M05-RA FWD chassis, so we thought it would be fun to put it through it’s paces with my Tamiya Audi Quattro A2 on the 4WD TT02-S chassis. We went to our favourite gravel rally circuit and gave them a few laps in each direction around the course.

The M05RA struggled to get going on the gravel surface, hampered by it’s un-damped suspension, but once up to speed it was surprisingly nimble in the turns! The TT02 carried an onboard camera for some interesting action shots, and we had a great time running and filming these RC cars.

PLEASE NOTE: This rally run was just for fun, and is not intended to indicate which is the best, we just thought you Tamiya enthusiasts would enjoy seeing two very different RC rally icons running together!

Both Tamiyas are stock, apart from:
M05RA – full ball bearing conversion
TT02-S – Rally Block tyres and a no-cost mod to the lower suspension arms to give increased travel and ride-height. See the mod here.

Many thanks to Rob (of Rob Brennan RC) for making this film with me – visit his fantastic channel here.
Thanks for watching, wishing you all fun RCing! πŸ™‚

Chassis length = 370mm (including bumper) The photo shows the assembled kit.

The highest peak of one-belt 4WD with improved road surface responsiveness and traction
This model further refines the driving performance of the TA07 MS, an electric RC 4WD touring car chassis that uses a highly efficient single-belt drive 4WD. The lower deck is available in 2.25mm thick carbon and 2.0mm thick aluminum suitable for high grip road surfaces to support various road surface conditions. Combined with a vertically arranged 2.0mm thick upper deck, it creates supple roll characteristics while ensuring pitching rigidity. In addition, two motor positions with different traction characteristics can be selected. As with the TRF420, the suspension mount uses a resin bush for delicate settings. The front and rear pulleys are the same as the TRF420. In addition, while making the SSBB damper a standard specification, we also prepared a carbon damper stay (3 mm thick) compatible with the TRF damper for bumpy road surfaces.

Total length = 435 mm * All images are under development.
* Polycarbonate body is painted black and cut.

Appearance for the first time in 28 years!!
Middle class buggy that inherits the DNA of the famous car Avante] Middle class that inherits the main mechanism of Avante, a 4WD racing buggy that was developed with a view to participating in big races by concentrating Tamiya’s technology at that time This is a reprint / improved version of the electric radio control buggy released in 1988 as a model. Overall length 435 mm, overall width 235 mm, overall height 150 mm. ● Uses a lightweight and strong ABS resin monocoque chassis. It is easy to maintain, protects the RC mechanism from shocks, and makes full use of the suspension performance with a structure with little deflection. In addition, inspection hatches are installed in the front and rear gearboxes, making gear replacement work easy. ● Sharp turning performance is demonstrated by a 3-diff configuration equipped with a small planetary type diff in the front and rear and a ball thrust diff in the center. Furthermore, in addition to reliable and smooth power transmission, a universal drive shaft is used in the front and rear to improve driving reliability without worrying about falling off during driving.

Suspension that allows you to enjoy delicate settings
Double wishbone type 4-wheel independent suspension uses screw shafts for each upper arm. Delicate settings are possible by adjusting the length of the arm. In addition, it is equipped with four CVA oil dampers, front and rear stabilizers, and a front upright made of machined aluminum to tighten the suspension.
