RC aficionados will appreciate the Tamiya 58718 - 1/10 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165) 4WD (TT-02) as a faithful miniature of a well known rally car. The clear polycarbonate shell captures the car's profile and lets you apply authentic liveries and paint schemes with the supplied masks and decals.
The TT-02 chassis gives a steady platform for this model, featuring a shaft-driven 4WD system for consistent traction. The battery sits on the left and the motor on the right in a layout that promotes balanced handling for general driving and club racing.
Customization is straightforward on this chassis: choose between two wheelbases, alter ground clearance and pick different tread widths to suit your setup. The option of ten gear ratios means you can adapt the drive to tighter tracks or longer straights.
Visual touches include brake disc style hubs and an era-correct front bumper. The lightweight 1.0mm polycarbonate body is paired with white rally dish wheels and radial tyres that mimic original tread patterns for a period-correct look.
Included in the box are livery stickers and window masking tape to help achieve neat paintwork. The kit comes with an ESC and a 540-brushed motor, so you will only need a 2-channel radio, a steering servo and a 7.2-7.4 volt battery plus charger to complete the rig.
The Tamiya 58718 - 1/10 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165) 4WD (TT-02) is a rewarding kit for modders and collectors who want a scale-accurate rally model that can be tuned for different driving styles. It balances period detail with practical chassis adaptability.
