The Tamiya 57777 - 1/10 XB Suzuki SX4 WRC (TT-01 TYPE-E) recreates Suzuki's WRC entry in compact form, celebrating the SX4's 2008 campaign. The full-scale car ran with a turbocharged engine and 4WD, and drivers Toni Gardemeister and Per-Gunnar Andersson scored notable finishes including points at the Monte Carlo Rally.
This kit uses the TT-01 TYPE-E platform, known for its adaptable layout and long-term durability. Fiberglass reinforced resin parts such as the damper stay and gear case add stiffness where it matters, and the updated front and rear uprights improve overall toughness for frequent track use.
An upgraded steering linkage that incorporates TA05 steering posts sharpens turn-in and response, while the redesigned upper deck increases rigidity and includes a transponder mount to simplify lap timing at organized events.
The lightweight 1.0mm polycarbonate body captures the SX4 WRC profile with injection-molded mirrors and a rear wing for authenticity. The RTR package includes an ESC (TEU-101BK), a Type 540 motor and a 2-channel R/C system, plus front and rear LEDs for night running. Note that a 7.2V battery and charger are sold separately.
The Tamiya 57777 suits newcomers wanting a straightforward entry into rally-style driving as well as collectors who value a faithful WRC replica. Its durable chassis and realistic bodywork make it a versatile choice for track days and casual racing.
