Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 reproduced in 1/10 scale

The low, race-bred profile of the Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 made it an icon on the circuit. With Klaus Ludwig finishing second at the 1982 German Racing Championship in Salzburg, its legend endures. Tamiya captures that era with this 1/10 scale model on the TT-02 chassis for authentic handling and appearance.

TT-02 platform overview for tuners

The TT-02 is appreciated for being approachable to assemble yet capable on-road. It brings improved handling and compatibility with modern electronics versus earlier TT variants. The shaft-driven 4WD system supplies dependable traction, while the chassis layout supports hop-up parts for incremental performance gains.

Race detail and chassis adjustability

The included polycarbonate body recreates the Capri's lines and Jagermeister livery. Brake disc-style wheel hubs and a fully independent double wishbone layout add to realistic movement and control. The longitudinal arrangement of motor and battery supports balance, and the chassis allows adjustments for camber, toe, ground clearance and gearing to match driving preferences.

The Tamiya 58590 Zakspeed Jagermeister Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 TT-02 Kit suits builders who value period detail and the ability to tune handling. It is a flexible platform for both display and on-road use.

After assembly you will need a charged 7.2V battery and compatible transmitter and receiver to run the car.
Common upgrades are stiffer shocks, better tyres, and improved bearings or a higher quality differential to sharpen response.
Painting lexan bodies takes some practice; use masking and polycarbonate spray paints for accurate Jagermeister colours and crisp lines.
You can experiment with foam inserts and different tyre compounds to suit track grip and driving style; check wheel compatibility first.
