The Renault 5 Turbo is a standout name from rally history, earning wins and a fierce reputation in WRC events from the late 1970s through the 1980s. Tamiya captures that spirit in a detailed 1/10 scale R/C replica mounted on the M-05Ra chassis that balances period looks with modern hobby usability.
The M-05Ra is a rally-tuned take on the compact M-05 platform, tuned for both gravel and paved stages. Its front-wheel-drive layout sits on a narrow semi-monocoque resin frame that is lightweight yet sturdy, and the 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension is paired with revised hub carriers and uprights to raise ground clearance by 5mm for rougher tracks.
The model includes a pre-shaped polycarbonate body plus a separate plastic front bumper for a faithful silhouette. Decoration is aided by supplied stickers and window masks for painting. The 210mm wheelbase fits 8-spoke wheels with rally block tyres. Hobbyists can also fit a range of Hop-Up Option parts to tune handling and durability.
The Tamiya 47435 Renault 5 Turbo suits both newcomers and experienced drivers, offering a robust platform for rally-style driving or display as a classic replica.
