Bring the Rally Icon Back to Life with Tamiya 47500 on the TT-02

The Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 is a rally legend, and Tamiya re-creates that heritage using the dependable TT-02 platform. Built originally as a homologation special, the ST185 helped secure major rally titles in the early 1990s. This kit captures that history while remaining approachable for new builders and satisfying for collectors.

TT-02 Chassis: Simple, Stable 4WD Handling

The TT-02 chassis is prized for its balance and straightforward setup. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout with a longitudinal motor and battery placement provides predictable handling and stability. The platform supports different wheelbases and ride heights, making it easy to tune for casual runs or more focused track use, and maintenance is kept simple for workshop sessions.

Body and Running Gear: Rally-Inspired Detail

The kit includes a 1.0mm polycarbonate body pre-painted in white with smoked windows, echoing the real car's tough rally styling. Fitted 5-spoke wheels and racing radial tires give good on-surface grip, while brake disc style wheel hubs and a period-correct front bumper complete the look. The finish balances authentic styling with durable materials for regular use.

The Tamiya TT-02 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 combines classic rally character with a user-friendly build. It is a solid pick for hobbyists wanting a faithful scale model that is straightforward to run and tune.

For someone with basic modelling experience, expect a few evenings to assemble and paint final details. The TT-02 is designed to be straightforward and well documented, which speeds the process.
The kit includes a 540-brushed motor, but it does not include an electronic speed control (ESC), radio or steering servo. Those electronics need to be chosen and fitted separately.
With its racing radial tyres and TT-02 geometry the model works well on smooth tarmac, sealed parking lots and compacted hardpack. For loose gravel or mud, tyre and suspension changes are recommended.
Tamiya TT-02 parts and Celica-specific body components are widely available from hobby retailers, making routine repairs and upgrades simple to source.
