Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 Nitro RTR Street Racer  [43526]

Nitro On-Road Excitement from Tamiya

RC fans who want a raw nitro driving feel will appreciate the Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05. This replica pays homage to the Audi A4 that raced in the 2005 DTM season, complete with the iconic Red Bull livery and the race-proven appearance of M. Ekstrom's car.

Engine and Chassis Details

The Tamiya 43526 sits on the TNS chassis and is powered by the O.S. FS-12SW engine, known for steady output and straightforward operation. The engine includes a dual needle carburetor and a recoil starter for simple firing up. A double-deck layout blends reinforced aluminum with durable plastics, and full ball bearings help keep drivetrain friction low for smoother runs.

Suspension, Drive and Handling

The model uses a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension that gives confident grip on smooth surfaces. Long-span arms and four oil dampers absorb track irregularities, while the shaft-driven 4WD system keeps power distributed. Front and rear sealed differential gearboxes improve reliability during sustained running.

Tuning Options and Control

Owners can upgrade using TG10-Mk.1 Option Parts to tailor handling and performance. The kit includes the Expec SP R/C unit with a trigger-type transmitter for familiar, precise throttle and steering control when practising or racing.

With its authentic styling and nitro powertrain, the Tamiya 43526 XBG Audi A4 DTM05 is suited to hobbyists who want a realistic on-road racer that accepts sensible upgrades and routine tuning.
