The Nurburgring 24 Hours is a test of endurance and setup, and the Audi R8 LMS earned its place among endurance winners in that environment. This 1/10 scale Tamiya 58504 model recreates the R8 LMS silhouette with careful attention to details like side mirrors, aerodynamic wing elements, and a full decal sheet to apply authentic livery for track or display.
The TT-01 Type-E chassis provides a dependable platform with a shaft-driven full-time 4WD layout for even power distribution. A low-mounted motor and battery in the bathtub frame give a lower center of gravity, while a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and a 3-piece tie rod improve steering accuracy. Suspension is handled by a 4-wheel double wishbone setup and front and rear differential gearing for stable handling at speed.
Fitted with racing radial tyres on black dish wheels, the model mimics on-track rubber and stance. Dimensions are faithful to scale: 434mm long, 194mm wide, 122mm tall, with a 257mm wheelbase. A Type 540 motor is supplied with the kit, and an electronic speed controller is required separately to complete your running setup.
Thanks to its accurate bodywork and solid TT-01 Type-E underpinnings, the Tamiya 58504 Audi R8 LMS suits both club racers and collectors who value realistic looks and predictable handling.
