Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 Nitro RTR Club Edition  [43526]

Tamiya Nitro Replica Built for Tarmac

The Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 recreates the 2005 DTM racing machine in miniature, complete with the striking Red Bull livery seen on M. Ekstrom's car. It is aimed at modelers who value scale accuracy alongside nitro performance.

Chassis and Powerplant Overview

Based on the TNS chassis, the Tamiya 43526 is driven by the O.S. FS-12SW engine which provides dependable power for track sessions. The engine uses a dual needle carburetor and a recoil starter for practical use. The double-deck design mixes reinforced aluminium sections with durable plastic panels, and full ball bearings reduce drivetrain drag.

Handling and Transmission Setup

Ride quality comes from a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension that grips well on smooth surfaces. Long-span arms paired with four oil dampers handle bumps and curbing, while the shaft-driven 4WD layout ensures consistent traction. Sealed front and rear differentials increase robustness under load.

Adjustability and Radio

Drop-in compatibility with TG10-Mk.1 Option Parts lets you refine suspension and gearing to suit your preferences. The kit includes an Expec SP R/C unit with a trigger transmitter for intuitive throttle control when practising laps.

This model suits enthusiasts who attend track days and want a nitro on-road car with authentic looks and sensible upgrade paths.
