Built to mirror the endurance racer that took class honours, this 1/10 Tamiya 58504 body offers the lines and aero of the Audi R8 LMS in compact form. Details such as the wing, mirrors and body vents are modelled for a convincing scale look, and the decal sheet lets you replicate a race-ready finish.
The TT-01 Type-E chassis gives an easy-to-work-on platform with shaft-driven full-time 4WD providing steady traction. The bathtub layout lowers the mass of the motor and battery, improving balance, and a reinforced nylon upper deck aids rigidity. Steering runs through a 3-piece tie rod arrangement and the car uses 4-wheel double wishbones and bevel differential gears to maintain composure through corners.
Stock radial tyres mount to black dish wheels for a period-correct look and grip on smooth surfaces. The model measures 434mm long, 194mm wide and 122mm tall across a 257mm wheelbase. A Type 540 motor is included with the kit; an electronic speed controller must be fitted separately for operational use.
The Tamiya 58504 Audi R8 LMS is a versatile kit for model builders who want both display quality and a chassis that responds well to setup changes for club racing.
