Recreating a Rally Icon at 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 46612 - RC RTR Celica WRC97 honours the 1997 championship car with a detailed polycarbonate body and rally-correct proportions. Built on the TT01ES, this kit lets pilots enjoy period-correct looks combined with practical RC mechanics.

What the TT01ES Brings to the Table

The TT01ES is a simplified, tune-friendly variant of the TT-01 type E, prized for its predictable handling and straightforward upgrade path. Shaft-driven 4WD plus independent double wishbones make setup changes effective and repeatable for different surfaces.

Notable Mechanical Features

With a Tamiya Type 540 motor and TEU-104BK ESC, the Celica WRC97 delivers dependable power and manageable acceleration. The bevel gear diffs and sealed gearbox reduce maintenance needs, while the supplied 2-channel AM Adspec GP radio offers familiar, no-fuss control for club runs.

Setup Advice from Local Racers

Start with stock tyres and assess handling before changing shocks or toe settings. Switching to oil-damped shocks and experimenting with tyre compounds will help dial in understeer or oversteer tendencies for better lap times.

The Tamiya 46612 - RC RTR Celica WRC97 on TT01ES offers a balanced starting point for collectors and drivers who want authentic looks plus room to upgrade.
