Tamiya 43524 1/10 Raybrig NSX '05 Nitro Touring Car RTR  [43524]

Origin and Racing Pedigree of the Raybrig NSX

The Honda NSX has been a standout of Japanese sports car design and its Super GT campaign highlights that reputation. The 2005 Raybrig NSX campaigned by Team Kunimitsu featured an M-Tec twin-turbo V6 and the distinctive blue and white Raybrig paint. Piloted by S. Phillipe and J. Dufour, the car added international talent to the series lineup.

Tamiya 43524 Chassis and Powertrain Overview

The Tamiya 43524 - 1/10 XBG Raybrig NSX '05 comes ready to run on the TNS chassis, which accepts many TG10-Mk.1 option upgrades for tailored performance. The included O.S. FS-12SW engine offers reliable nitro power with a dual needle carburetor and recoil starter for easy operation.

The car uses a double-deck construction with an aluminum lower deck under a robust plastic upper deck to balance stiffness and impact resistance. The independent double wishbone suspension with long-span arms keeps tyres planted, while four oil-filled dampers smooth out rough surfaces.

Control, Drive Train and Fitment

Power is transmitted through a shaft-driven 4WD layout with sealed differential gearboxes front and rear for consistent traction. Full ball bearings are installed throughout to reduce drag and enhance run time. Control comes from the Expec SP R/C unit with a trigger-type transmitter that many drivers find intuitive.

Tamiya 43524 makes a solid entry for modders and racers who appreciate a historical touring car replica. Its build quality and upgrade potential suit both organised club racing and casual weekend runs.
