Tamiya 43515: Scale Porsche Performance

The 1/10 scale Tamiya 43515 brings the Porsche Carrera GT to the on-road RC scene with nitro power and a focus on driving feel. Built on the TGS-R platform, the car benefits from tuned weight placement and a scale polycarbonate shell that captures the sports car silhouette.

Why the Carrera GT Matters

The Carrera GT's V10 delivers around 605hp in the road car and enables top speeds near 330km/h, with a mid-mounted engine and carbon fibre construction that enhance balance. The RC version mirrors these traits with aerodynamic details like the rear wing and period Porsche front end.

Chassis Upgrades and Engine Notes

The TGS-R chassis in this model is matched to the FS-12SW nitro engine, offering improved output over the older FS-12SS while keeping user-friendly handling. Speed-Tuned Gears are fitted to sharpen acceleration, and shielded bearings plus oil dampers help maintain composure at higher speeds.

For hobbyists who favour scale looks and nitro performance, the Tamiya 43515 delivers a convincing blend of realism and track-capable hardware. It suits club racers and collectors alike.

Starting typically requires a glow starter and following the engine break-in steps in the manual; use a reliable starter pack and ensure proper fuel flow before running.
This model is tuned for smooth, paved surfaces and asphalt club tracks where its on-road tyres and chassis can perform at their best.
Tamiya parts for popular models are generally easy to source through hobby retailers, and common wear items like tyres and bearings are routinely stocked.
