Retro GT Tamiya 58749 - 1/10 Audi R8 LMS 2008 TT-02 Remote Control On-Road Car Kit  [58749]

A Friendly TT-02 Build: Tamiya Audi R8 LMS 2008

The Tamiya Audi R8 LMS 2008 kit is a compact GT project that balances authentic styling with a straightforward assembly. Its polycarbonate body reproduces the R8 profile and is forgiving for first time painters and builders.

Heritage of the R8 LMS in Miniature

The Audi R8 LMS made waves in 2008 with a 5.2 litre V10 and GT3 race configuration. This scale model channels those design cues into a practical RC car that captures the on-track character while remaining accessible to hobbyists.

TT-02 Chassis Benefits and Options

The TT-02 chassis suits a wide range of drivers with its dependable shaft-driven 4WD and simple maintenance. Layout options let you alter ground clearance and wheelbase, and the matching left and right suspension parts make servicing straightforward.

Practical Setup Tips for Road Use

Keep the original TT-02 settings when you first run the car, then tweak gear ratio or tyre setup as you become more comfortable. The supplied 16-spoke black wheels with slick tyres give a convincing on-road feel on flat surfaces.

With realistic lines and a flexible TT-02 chassis, the Tamiya Audi R8 LMS 2008 is a sensible choice for those starting out and for builders who want a platform that can be tuned over time.
