Tamiya 57778 - Golf GTI Cup TT-01 Type-E RTR Track Edition  [57778]

Bring Golf GTI Cup Racing Home

The Golf GTI Cup is a single-make racing series run by Volkswagen Group Japan that highlights close wheel-to-wheel action. Raced cars use safety upgrades like roll cages and 4-point belts and often sport custom liveries, with the calendar running over five events that welcome both experienced drivers and newcomers.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis Features

The Tamiya 57778 RC reproduces the Cup car on the TT-01 Type-E platform, using fiberglass-reinforced resin parts for key components such as damper stays and gear cases to resist wear. Steering is improved with TA05 steering posts for crisper inputs, and a stiffer upper deck helps the chassis track true. A transponder mount is included to make lap timing straightforward at club tracks.

Bodycraft and Onboard Gear

The model uses a newly moulded 1.0mm SX4 WRC style polycarbonate body with injection-moulded mirrors and a fitted rear wing for authentic looks. Electronics are supplied with an ESC (TEU-101BK), a Type 540 motor and a 2-channel radio, plus front and rear LEDs for night or display driving. Note that a 7.2V battery and charger are sold separately.

The Tamiya 57778 Volkswagen Golf GTI Cup TT-01 Type-E suits hobbyists seeking an authentic on-road racer with durable construction and precise steering, ideal for club racing or hobby track sessions.
