Model makers and drivers will appreciate the Tamiya 58642-60A Team Reinert Racing Truck for its faithful recreation of an ETRC contender. Presented in 1/10 scale, this kit captures the MAN TGS silhouette and period sponsor paintwork for a convincing trackside presence.
The life-size Team Reinert Racing MAN TGS ran with an impressive 1,100hp turbocharged diesel and a Mechanical 16-speed ZF gearbox to manage that output. Tamiya reproduces the truck's external details and season livery to honour that race-bred pedigree.
The TT-01 Type-E platform offers straightforward assembly and consistent tuning. Its shaft-driven 4WD, independent suspension with oil-filled dampers, and gear differentials make setup predictable for both cruising and more spirited runs.
To dial in handling, test a few tyre compounds to suit your tarmac surface; the supplied 70mm radial tyres aim to mirror racing behaviour. For added realism, the chassis supports Tamiya LED Light Units if you want working lights on the truck body.
Whether you want a faithful show model or a trim-for-speed runner, this Tamiya Team Reinert Racing Truck brings accurate looks and a tunable chassis to the hobby bench.
