This Tamiya 43526 reproduces the Audi A4 DTM05 as a factory-finished engine RTR built on the TNS platform. The livery and race graphics reflect the touring-car look, offering a display-ready appearance while retaining the operational character of a glow-engine model.
The TNS double-deck format uses a reinforced aluminum lower deck combined with a resilient plastic upper deck. This structure supports a shaft-driven 4WD transmission with sealed front and rear differentials, full ball bearings, and a dependable shaft drivetrain that favors longevity and straightforward maintenance.
Suspension uses independent double wishbones at all four corners with long arms and oil-filled dampers for controlled motion. The running package is completed by an O.S. FS-12SW glow engine with a dual-needle carburetor and recoil starter, providing the typical sound and operation of a nitro-powered RTR.
The kit includes a pre-painted polycarbonate body finished in the DTM05 race scheme with sponsor-style markings and period grille styling. The painted shell aims to capture the visual presence of the full-size car while remaining resilient enough for regular running.
The 43526 is suited to hobbyists who want a ready-to-run nitro touring car with authentic styling and a robust TNS mechanical base. It is also attractive to collectors seeking a finished model that combines display quality with functional engine performance.
The Tamiya 43526 Audi A4 DTM05(TNS) delivers a mechanically complete nitro RTR on the TNS platform with a pre-painted DTM-style body for hobbyists and collectors.
