Classic Rally Replica: Tamiya 47500 Celica ST185 Mounted on TT-02

The Celica GT-Four ST185 earned its place in rally history, and Tamiya captures that spirit in this TT-02 based kit. Built from the same legacy that won Toyota championships in the 1990s, this scale model celebrates the car's motorsport pedigree while remaining accessible to model builders of all levels.

Why the TT-02 Works for This Build

The TT-02 offers a straightforward shaft-driven 4WD setup that balances handling and durability. Its longitudinal motor and battery layout produce predictable weight distribution, and the chassis accepts alternate wheelbase and ride height options. That versatility makes it easy to set up for relaxed backyard laps or more focused track running.

Scale Styling and Practical Components

This kit features a 1.0mm pre-painted polycarbonate shell in white with smoked glazing for a race-ready look. The included 5-spoke wheels and treaded racing radial tyres provide credible grip, and details like brake disc style hubs and an era-correct front bumper add authentic touches while remaining robust for regular driving.

Yes. The TT-02 kit layout and clear instructions make it a good choice for newcomers, though patience and basic tools are required to get the best result.
You will need a 2-channel radio system, a steering servo, a battery pack with compatible connector and a charger. The kit includes a 540-brushed motor but no ESC, so choose an ESC that matches your battery and motor setup.
Yes. Swapping to knobbier tyres and adjusting ride height are common upgrades to improve traction on grass or loose gravel surfaces.
Pre-painted polycarbonate bodies still need careful trimming, mounting and protective masking where required. Follow the instruction sheet for cut lines and mounting points.
