Tamiya 84227 Renault 5 Turbo Rally 1/12 M-05Ra Replica  [84227]

Classic rally replica with practical tuning

The Tamiya 84227 recreates the Renault 5 Turbo in 1/12 scale with attention to authentic lines and usable performance. Sitting on the M-05Ra chassis, the model benefits from added ground clearance and longer suspension travel to handle both sealed surfaces and light dirt.

M-05Ra chassis benefits explained

Built from the M-05 platform, the M-05Ra is adjusted for rally style driving by increasing suspension travel and raising ride height. The short 210mm wheelbase improves responsiveness, making it easy to navigate tight courses.

Bodywork, wheels and traction

The kit contains a clear polycarbonate body that you can paint to match period liveries. Matte-finished gold plated wheels come as a bonus and the supplied rally block tires help maintain grip on varied surfaces.

Powertrain and completion checklist

A 540-type brushed motor is included for dependable running. Required items to finish the car are a 2-channel radio and servos, a 6-cell battery pack and charger, plus paints and basic tools for the build.

For builders who appreciate a compact rally car with room to set up suspension and steering, the Tamiya 84227 Renault 5 Turbo Rally kit is a practical, collectible choice that also performs on mixed surfaces.
