Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 Nitro RTR Track Ready  [43526]

Race-Inspired Nitro Performance from Tamiya

The Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 reproduces the 2005 DTM champion car in nitro RTR form, showcasing the Red Bull race graphics and race-bred silhouette familiar from M. Ekstrom's season.

Powertrain and Build Quality

Built around the TNS chassis, this model is fitted with the O.S. FS-12SW engine that balances power and serviceability. The engine features a dual needle carburetor and a recoil starter for reliable starts. The double-deck layout merges reinforced aluminium components with resilient plastics, and full ball bearings help maintain drivetrain efficiency.

Suspension and Driveline

The car employs a 4-wheel independent double wishbone setup to maintain tyre contact on flat tracks. Long-span control arms and four oil dampers smooth out impacts, while the shaft-driven 4WD transmission delivers even torque distribution. Front and rear sealed diffs add durability for repeated runs.

Upgrades and Radio Control

Compatibility with TG10-Mk.1 Option Parts allows straightforward tuning for lap time improvement. The included Expec SP R/C unit with a trigger-format transmitter provides conventional, reliable control while practising at the track.

The Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 makes a solid choice for hobby racers who want a race-look nitro car with sensible upgrade options and proven mechanical layout.
