Tamiya 47429 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2008 TT-01E Short Wheelbase Kit  [47429]

Track-focused replica from Tamiya 47429

The Tamiya 47429 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2008 reproduces the iconic cup racer at 1/10 scale, blending authentic looks with a kit format that appeals to builders and racers. The TT-01E chassis offers a balance of durability and tuning potential, making this a solid choice for hobbyists who like to set up their cars for different surfaces.

Chassis layout and construction

The TT-01E platform in this kit is engineered for predictable handling and straightforward builds. A longitudinal motor layout helps centralize mass, while the shaft-driven 4WD system delivers consistent power delivery. Fiberglass reinforced nylon components on the upper deck and gear covers increase stiffness and support higher-speed running.

Scale bodywork and finishing options

The clear polycarbonate body captures the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup profile while keeping weight low. Molded extras such as side mirrors and the race rear wing enhance realism, and the supplied decals let you recreate official liveries. Front and rear light housings accept LEDs sold separately for added realism at night or on display rigs.

Handling traits and rolling gear

A low center of gravity combined with a four-wheel double wishbone suspension yields precise cornering and predictable feedback. The short wheelbase TT-01E specification delivers agile turn-in for tight layouts. Silver-molded wheels fitted with slick tires round out a package built for smooth track performance.

This Tamiya Porsche kit rewards careful assembly and setup work, making it a satisfying model for experienced builders who want a realistic 1/10 class racer.
