Tamiya 46613 RC RTR BMW 318i STW - Compact Touring Replica

The Tamiya 46613 RC RTR BMW 318i STW brings precise miniature engineering and classic touring car style to a 1/10 scale package. Built on the TT-01ES chassis, this RTR model gives both newcomers and experienced modellers a straightforward platform to enjoy driving and learning setup basics.

Overview of the TT-01ES Platform

The TT-01ES chassis is a simplified TT-01E derivative that accepts a wide range of Tamiya option parts. Known for its robustness and simple upkeep, the platform suits those starting out in RC. Its four-wheel shaft drive provides steady power distribution, and the sealed gearbox helps keep dirt and grit away from moving parts.

What to Expect on Track

Powered by a 540 motor, the BMW 318i STW offers dependable push for club and park runs. Bevel gear differentials and ball bearings reduce drivetrain friction for smoother power transfer. The independent double wishbone suspension helps maintain tyre contact during cornering for predictable handling.

Bodywork and Practical Build Details

The pre-trimmed, painted shell faithfully reflects the BMW 318i STW silhouette and comes fitted with treaded tyres and a foam bumper for impact protection. Basic friction shocks strike a balance between cost and usable performance, keeping the model accessible while still looking authentic.

The Tamiya 46613 RC RTR BMW 318i STW is a solid choice for people wanting a reliable, easy-to-work-on entry into touring car RC and for collectors who value a faithful small-scale replica.
