If you love vintage rally machines and practical R/C builds, the Tamiya Toyota Celica GT-FOUR ST205 kit brings both worlds together. This 1/10 scale assembly model channels the look of the original rally icon while sitting on the TT-02 chassis, a platform prized for straightforward assembly and room to tune as your skills grow.
The full-size Celica GT-FOUR earned its reputation in the 1990s with aerodynamic styling and a 2.0-liter turbo engine rated at around 255hp. Its advanced 4WD hardware, including a centre viscous coupling and a Torsen-type rear differential, translated to strong traction in rally stages and informs the model's shaft-driven 4WD layout.
Tamiya's TT-02 is known for balanced handling and user-friendly setup. The kit features a sturdy ABS chassis, fully independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers that help the model stay composed on sealed surfaces. Power arrives via a 540 brushed motor paired with an ESC for dependable, tunable performance.
This release includes a pre-painted black polycarbonate shell with smoke-tinted windows, plus gun metal 10-spoke wheels shod with racing radial tyres for authentic style and grip. The ready-finished body saves paint time while keeping the model looking track-ready.
Whether added to a display shelf or prepped for club track duty, the Tamiya Toyota Celica GT-FOUR ST205 on the TT-02 chassis balances classic rally appeal with a sensible platform for upgrades and racing.
