Tamiya 46617 - 1/10 RTR XBS Celica GT4 1990 TT-01ES On-Road Replica  [46617]

Iconic Rally Hardware Remade for RC Fans

The Tamiya 46617 - 1/10 RC RTR XBS Celica GT4 1990 recreates the celebrated Toyota Celica GT-Four from the 1990 World Rally Championship, combining period-correct styling with accessible RC performance. It balances collector appeal with practical handling for club-level runs.

TT-01ES Chassis: A Tuning-Friendly Platform

The heart of this model is the TT-01ES chassis, a durable evolution of the TT-01 Type-E that accepts a wide range of option parts. Its layout encourages incremental upgrades, and the 4WD shaft drive helps deliver consistent traction across different surfaces.

Straightforward Powertrain and Suspension

Factory-fitted with a Type 540 motor and TEU-104BK ESC, the car gives solid stock performance out of the box. The independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers offer predictable control, while the finished polycarbonate body accurately reflects the rally original.

Practical Setup Notes for Runners

To refine handling, try stiffer dampers or swap tyre compounds to match tarmac or loose surfaces. The RTR kit requires a 7.2 Volt battery pack, a suitable charger, and AA batteries for the transmitter before you hit the track.

Whether displayed or driven, the Tamiya 46617 delivers a faithful replica with room to upgrade. Its balanced engineering makes it a solid choice for hobbyists wanting to learn tuning basics.
