If you are refreshing a 1/10 on-road model, the Tamiya 51728 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST185) RC Body Part Set is a tidy, accurate option. The main shell uses resilient polycarbonate and supplementary PC-ABS pieces bring finer details to life.

Notable Points about the Celica Body

  • Period-accurate Shape: Faithfully reproduces the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 silhouette and panel details.
  • Light and Tough: Polycarbonate construction ensures a good strength to weight ratio for club running.
  • Decal and Mask Pack: Includes marking stickers for authentic livery plus window masks to keep paint edges clean.
  • Which Chassis It Fits: Compatible with TT-01 Type-E and TT-02 chassis that use a 257mm wheelbase; not suitable for TT-02B, TT-02T, or TT-02FT versions.
  • Packed Safely: Supplied in a simple cardboard box for protection during shipping and storage.

Practical Advice for Mounting

Secure any metal mounting hardware firmly when installing this Tamiya Celica GT-Four body set to keep the shell stable at speed. Make use of the included window masking stickers to get sharp paint lines and minimise overspray.

The shell fits TT-02 layouts with a 257mm wheelbase. If your drift conversion keeps that wheelbase and mounting points standard, it should fit with usual trimming.
Use paints specifically formulated for polycarbonate shells and apply multiple thin coats from inside the shell for best adhesion and finish.
Some basic mounting points may be marked, but it is common to mark and drill final holes to match your chassis and mount hardware precisely.
