Tamiya 58516 - 1/10 BMW 318i STW TT-01E Collector Edition  [58516]

Iconic BMW 318i STW Recreation for Model Builders

The Tamiya 58516 - 1/10 RC BMW 318i STW captures the character of the 1995 Super Touren Wagen Cup contender in a buildable scale package. The painted polycarbonate body reproduces the original car's flowing lines, while separately moulded mirrors and the rear wing add authentic detail that appeals to both display collectors and track-focused modellers.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis Built for Balanced Control

Beneath the shell the TT-01 Type-E chassis delivers straightforward assembly and predictable on-track behavior. The shaft-driven 4WD layout gives consistent traction and the motor and battery placement help keep the centre of gravity low for improved cornering. A fiberglass nylon upper deck and reinforced gear covers boost stiffness for long term durability.

Suspension Setup and Traction Notes

The TT-01 Type-E uses a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with front and rear diff gears to maintain smooth steering input. Oil-filled dampers allow tuning for different surfaces and the slick tyres on white mesh wheels provide useful grip for club track sessions or street-style runs.

The Tamiya 58516 - 1/10 RC BMW 318i STW makes a solid choice for hobbyists who value accurate styling and a chassis that handles well on paved tracks. Its blend of scale detail and tunable suspension suits both display builds and spirited driving.
