Tamiya 46617 Celica GT4 1990 1/10 RTR XBS TT-01ES Rally Replica  [46617]

Rally Heritage Rebuilt for Hobby Racers

The Tamiya 46617 - 1/10 RC RTR XBS Celica GT4 1990 channels the spirit of the Toyota Celica GT-Four from the 1990 WRC season into a ready-to-run RC package. It blends authentic looks with a chassis that responds well to setup changes.

TT-01ES Chassis and Upgrade Paths

This model uses the TT-01ES chassis, known for a strong upgrade ecosystem and straightforward maintenance. The 4WD shaft drive keeps power balanced to all wheels, helping to maintain stability through corners and on mixed surfaces.

On-Track Behavior and Components

With a Type 540 motor paired to the TEU-104BK ESC, the car performs reliably out of the box. Independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers provide a predictable ride, and the painted polycarbonate shell recreates the rally livery with minimal prep.

Tuning Tips for Better Lap Times

Try swapping damper settings and testing tyre compounds to dial in steering and traction. The RTR kit requires a 7.2 Volt battery pack, charger, and AA batteries for the transmitter to be race-ready.

The Tamiya 46617 makes a neat platform for hobbyists who enjoy tweaking handling and gearing. It sits well in a club paddock and looks the part on display.
