Tamiya 58740 - 1/10 Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 BT-01 Road Racing Edition  [58740]

Classic GT Reborn: Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 on the BT-01 Chassis

The Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 is an enduring race car and Tamiya reproduces its spirit in 1/10 scale mounted on the BT-01. The kit mimics the RSR layout with a midship rear motor and rear-wheel drive to provide realistic scale handling that appeals to hobby racers and collectors alike.

Racing Roots of the RSR 2.8

Building on the Carrera RS lineage, the 2.8 RSR made a name on European circuits in the early 1970s. Equipped with a 2,808cc flat-six producing over 300hp in race tune, it achieved strong results and remains admired for its competition pedigree.

Chassis Features and Flexibility

The BT-01 combines user-friendly maintenance with setup flexibility. Two wheelbase settings and selectable drive orientation let you tailor balance and handling, while the independent double wishbone suspension and simple friction dampers keep adjustments straightforward.

What You Will Need

The kit includes a 540-brushed motor and ESC, but you must provide a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a 7.2-7.4volt battery. Finishing the polycarbonate body with Tamiya PS paint will produce durable, accurate livery results.

The Tamiya Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 on BT-01 suits club racers and scale modellers who want an authentic classic GT body on a chassis that is simple to tune and maintain.
