Tamiya 1992 Audi V8 (TT-02) RC Touring Car Kit 1/10 Scale - 58699

Tamiya's TAM58699 is a 1/10 scale RC kit of the 1992 Audi V8 Touring Car built on the TT-02 chassis, one of Tamiya's most popular and accessible four-wheel drive touring car platforms. The kit replicates the iconic DTM-era Audi V8 with a detailed plastic body shell and the proven TT-02 drivetrain, making it a strong choice for hobbyists who want to build and run a classic touring car. This is a construction kit, not a ready-to-run model — assembly is required, which makes it well suited to builders who enjoy the process as much as the driving.

Key Features

• TT-02 four-wheel drive chassis offers a reliable, shaft-driven 4WD layout suited to smooth road surfaces and circuit-style driving
• Detailed injection-moulded body shell recreates the 1992 Audi V8 Touring Car as raced in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft
• 1/10 scale proportions are compatible with standard Tamiya TT-02 hop-up and replacement parts, making it easy to maintain or upgrade over time
• Kit format suits intermediate builders — the TT-02 is well documented and widely supported, with straightforward assembly compared to more complex Tamiya platforms
• Electric-powered platform accepts a standard 540-size brushed motor and Tamiya-compatible ESC, giving flexibility when choosing electronics
