Audi 90 Quattro Racing Recreated in 1/10 Scale R/C
This Tamiya 47511 Audi 90 Quattro Racing model captures the spirit of the 1989 IMSA racer with a compact 1/10 interpretation. The original car ran a 2.2-liter inline-5 turbo, producing extreme power through a sophisticated 4WD system, and this scale replica mirrors the muscular silhouette using a lightweight polycarbonate shell.
Authentic Race Details
The kit arrives with a pre-painted white body, smoke-tinted windows and pre-drilled body mount holes to speed up the build. Separate molded pieces for the A pillar ducts, side mirrors and rear wing add realism, while the white dish wheels with a +4mm offset and slick tyres suit the wide body stance for an accurate track-ready look.
TT-02 Chassis Fundamentals
The TT-02 platform is valued for its balance and tuning potential, providing a shaft-driven 4WD layout with the battery positioned on the left and motor on the right for stable handling. Identical left and right suspension arms and uprights make assembly simple, and the driveline and gearboxes are designed for easy maintenance. Builders can choose between two wheelbase settings, adjust ground clearance, and try from ten gear ratio options to suit driving style.
Accessible Build for All Skill Levels
From newcomers to experienced racers, the Tamiya 47511 offers a rewarding project. Beginners will find the pre-painted body and clear assembly steps helpful, while experienced hobbyists can refine setup and upgrades. The kit includes a Tamiya Torque Tuned 540 motor and a Hobbywing ESC to get you on the road quickly.
