Tamiya 57799 BMW M3 GT2 2009 RTR TT-01 Type-E Electric  [57799]

BMW M3 GT2 Recreated in Scale for Serious Drivers

The Tamiya 57799 RTR BMW M3 GT2 captures the intensity of the 2009 American Le Mans Series in a finely detailed 1/10 model. This replica mirrors the Road America contender with an accurately shaped polycarbonate shell, separate molded side mirrors and a prominent rear wing for race-correct lines. Built-in red and white LEDs mimic real head and tail lights to make the car feel more authentic on road and track.

Chassis Design and On-Road Control

At its core is the TT-01 Type-E chassis, engineered for predictable handling and a low center of gravity thanks to carefully positioned motor and battery. Fiberglass reinforced nylon on the upper deck and gear covers boosts stiffness and long-term durability. The shaft-driven full-time 4WD pairs with a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and front and rear differentials to deliver balanced handling, while a 3-piece steering tie-rod improves steering precision. An included forward/reverse ESC gives smooth throttle modulation for easy pace control.

The Tamiya 57799 suits experienced racers and collectors who want a blend of period racing heritage and dependable RC engineering. Its rugged chassis and composed handling make it a good candidate for club racing and scale display alike.
