Modelers seeking realism and dependable handling will appreciate the Tamiya 46630 Petronas TOM's RC F. This ready-to-run model mirrors the Super GT livery and offers a practical platform for drivers who like to tweak setup between sessions.
The TT-01 Type ES chassis is praised for its serviceability and stable behaviour on paved surfaces. With 4WD and independent double wishbone suspension, the car tracks predictably through chicanes and under power. The 540-brushed motor pairs with the supplied TEU-105BK ESC for consistent throttle feel.
The bodywork reflects the Petronas TOM's RC F that competed in the GT500 category of the 2015 Super GT season. Piloted by Daisuke Ito and James Rossiter, the full-size machine secured a top-three finish at Fuji Speedway and ran a potent 550hp turbocharged engine in competition.
Owners can refine handling with a broad selection of Tamiya option parts for the TT-01 Type ES. Adjustments like different gear ratios, shock tuning, and chassis braces allow you to tailor the car to track conditions and personal driving style.
The Tamiya 46630 Petronas TOM's RC F is a practical choice for hobbyists who value authentic styling and a chassis that responds well to setup changes at the track.
