Track-Inspired Replica: Tamiya 58699 Audi V8 with TT-02

This Tamiya 58699 release puts the 1992 Audi V8 Touring into a 1/10 scale model built around the TT-02 chassis. It pairs a highly detailed polycarbonate body with a chassis designed for easy tuning, appealing to racers who like to tweak handling and gearing for track days.

Race History Behind the 1992 Audi V8 Touring

Under the bonnet the original carried a 3.6-liter V8 and used Audi quattro four-wheel drive, delivering competitive pace and memorable performances like the Nurburgring podium sweep. The scale model reflects the aggressive silhouette and technical hallmarks of that season.

TT-02 Chassis Highlights for Tuners

The TT-02 is a shaft-driven 4WD system known for its dependable behaviour and upgrade path. Its longitudinal battery and motor layout improves front-to-rear balance. Symmetric suspension geometry makes set-up changes simple, and the chassis supports multiple wheelbase and ride height combinations. Ten gear options let you optimise acceleration or top speed.

For those who like to adjust handling and gear ratios, the Tamiya Audi V8 Touring on TT-02 is a practical platform for both track practice and road-style model builds.

Medium compound touring tyres are a good starting point. They offer grip and longevity for mixed-surface club tracks while keeping steering predictable.
Upgrading from the stock 540-brushed motor to a higher torque brushed unit or a suitable brushless alternative will improve acceleration and responsiveness, but check ESC compatibility first.
Start with the stock damper oil and a medium spring rate. Adjust ride height and damping incrementally to tune understeer or oversteer depending on your track cornering style.
No, the kit is enjoyable stock. Hop-Up parts are available for those wanting improved durability or sharper handling for competitive runs.
A pair of sharp scissors, a hobby knife, and a body stand or clips will make painting and cutting cleaner and easier during the finishing stage.
