The Tamiya 57777 - 1/10 XB Suzuki SX4 WRC (TT-01 TYPE-E) reproduces the SX4 WRC's racing persona in a ready-to-run model. The full-size SX4 campaigned in the 2008 WRC season with a turbocharged powerplant and four-wheel drive, scoring points at events like the Monte Carlo Rally under drivers such as Toni Gardemeister and Per-Gunnar Andersson.
The TT-01 TYPE-E chassis provides a solid platform for both practice runs and club competition. Key components are reinforced with fiberglass-filled resin, including the damper stay and gear housing, while the reinforced uprights improve longevity during frequent use on varied surfaces.
The revised steering linkage featuring TA05 steering posts offers crisper input and better cornering control. An updated upper deck increases torsional stiffness and includes a practical transponder mount for lap timing at local tracks.
The 1.0mm polycarbonate body captures the SX4 WRC lines, complete with injection-molded side mirrors and a rear wing. The RTR kit arrives with an ESC (TEU-101BK), a Type 540 motor and a 2-channel radio, plus front and rear LEDs. Remember to source a 7.2V battery and charger separately.
Whether you are learning the basics of rally driving or adding a nostalgic WRC model to a collection, the Tamiya 57777 balances authenticity with user-friendly mechanics for continued enjoyment on club circuits.
