Classic DTM Replica: Tamiya 58682-60A Audi V8 on the TT-02

Tamiya models often resonate with racers and scale hobbyists. The Tamiya 58682-60A brings the 1991 Audi V8 Touring car to life, echoing the era when Frank Biela took several wins. The kit captures the look and the spirit of that DTM campaign while remaining accessible to model constructors.

TT-02 Layout: Practical and Predictable

The TT-02 platform is a shaft-driven four-wheel drive chassis built for stable on-road behaviour. Its longitudinal layout positions the battery on the left and the motor on the right for balanced handling. Builders can select between two wheelbase settings, tweak ground clearance and tread, and choose from ten gear ratio combinations for different driving conditions.

Putting the Model Together and Painting Tips

Assembly rewards those who enjoy detailing. The polycarbonate body includes authentic decal sheets to copy the #45 race car, along with window mask stickers for easier painting. The supplied two-piece mesh wheels with silver rims and gold spokes are matched to slick tyres to complete the race look.

Mechanical Details and Setup Options

The kit uses a brushed 540-type motor and benefits from a 4-bevel differential plus independent double wishbone suspension for controlled handling. Note that an ESC is not supplied, allowing you to pick an electronic speed controller to suit your motor choice and driving style.

This Audi V8 TT-02 kit suits hobbyists who enjoy building authentic replicas and tuning a reliable, user-friendly chassis for circuit runs.
