Audi A4 Quattro Touring 4WD Electric RC Car Kit

This Tamiya R/C car recreates a classic Audi A4 Quattro Touring car as it raced in 1997. In the late 1990s, manufacturer-backed teams would come to dominate touring car series around the world. One of the most pre-eminent was Audi, which spared no expense in its pursuit of the top of the podium. Using its base A4 quattro as a platform, Audi developed the car significantly and turned it into a race winner. In addition, Audi sought the best drivers from around the world in order to do their creation justice.

Tamiya recreates this racer on top of the TT-01 E chassis, which is ideal for beginner kit builders. The original release of this Audi was mounted on the Tamiya TA-03 machine.

TT-01 E Chassis

The bathtub frame of the evolved shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E has its motor and battery close to the ground for lower center of gravity and optimum balance. Mounted on the bathtub frame is a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers improving rigidity, as well as a 3-piece tie rod providing a smoother steering action. The low centre of gravity, great balanced design, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system, and front and rear differential gears all come together to produce excellent operating ability. 70mm-diameter radial tires are paired with metal plated wheels developed just for this model; the high sidewalls make for forgiving turns.

18 Spoke Rims On Slicks

The TT-01E stays true to its real-life counterpart with its 18-spoke rims mounted on slick tyres. This combination provides authentic aesthetics and performance, mimicking the look and feel of the original car for a truly immersive experience.

Front & Rear Double Wishbone Suspension

The TT-01E boasts independent front and rear double-wishbone suspension, allowing the model to hug the ground for superior traction and stability. Friction dampers effectively absorb bumps and imperfections in the terrain, ensuring a smooth and controlled drive even over rough surfaces.

Proven Bathtub Chassis

The TT-01 Type-E features a robust plastic bathtub chassis as its foundation. This design, reinforced with a screw-attached upper deck, provides exceptional rigidity and reliability, ensuring precise handling and control even under demanding driving conditions.
