Tamiya 58712 1/10 PORSCHE 911 GT3 (INCL ESC) TT-02

Modern Day Legend

A special place in the long and storied history of the Porsche 911 is occupied by the 911 GT3, high performance cars with naturally-aspirated engines suited to racing. Announced in 2021, the Porsche 911 GT3 (992) employs a 4.0-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine capable of 510hp. Superior downforce is provided by the rear wing with swan-neck connection and a rear diffuser, and other highlights are a front apron with optimized cooling, and a lightweight carbon fiber hood with air outlets. This assembly kit R/C model recreates the alluring 911 GT3 (992) form with a polycarbonate body, and pairs it with the TT-02 chassis.

TT-02: Adaptable, balanced shaft driven 4WD

The shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to give excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports. Dark gun metal color wheels use racing radial tires.
