The Tamiya 57777 - 1/10 XB Suzuki SX4 WRC (TT-01 TYPE-E) packages classic WRC aesthetics into a hobby-ready car. The full-size SX4 ran in the 2008 WRC season with a turbocharged engine and 4WD, driven by competitors like Toni Gardemeister and Per-Gunnar Andersson, and recorded points at events including Monte Carlo.
The TT-01 TYPE-E chassis offers a practical balance of strength and serviceability. Fiberglass-loaded resin parts such as the damper stay and gear case strengthen key areas, and the updated uprights on both ends help the model resist impacts during spirited driving.
Upgraded steering linkage that uses TA05 steering posts improves steering precision for sharper cornering. The redesigned upper deck improves chassis stiffness and provides a mount for a transponder, useful for club timing and events.
The lightweight 1.0mm polycarbonate shell mirrors the SX4 WRC body shape and includes injection-molded side mirrors and a rear wing for realism. The RTR setup includes an ESC (TEU-101BK), a Type 540 motor and a 2-channel radio, plus front and rear LED lights. A 7.2V battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately.
The Tamiya 57777 is a solid choice for hobbyists who want a realistic rally model with ready-to-run convenience, and it responds well to basic tuning for those wanting more competitive handling.
