The Renault 5 Turbo earned its place in rally lore with standout performances in late 20th century events. Tamiya recreates that legacy in 1/10 scale, detailing the aggressive lines and mounting it on the adaptable M-05Ra chassis for varied driving conditions.
The M-05Ra modifies the compact M-05 for rally use, offering a front-wheel-drive layout with a slim semi-monocoque resin frame that keeps weight down. It uses independent double wishbone suspension at all four corners and upgraded hub carriers and uprights to lift ride height by 5mm for rougher tracks.
The kit includes a molded polycarbonate shell and a separate plastic front bumper to improve appearance. Stickers and window masking decals are provided for an accurate paint job. Built on a 210mm wheelbase, the model fits 8-spoke wheels with rally block tyres. A selection of Hop-Up Option parts can be fitted for improved performance.
The Tamiya 47435 Renault 5 Turbo is a versatile kit that appeals to builders and drivers who enjoy switching between smooth circuits and loose-surface runs.
