The McLaren Senna made a big impression at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show, honoring Ayrton Senna with an aggressive aerodynamic package. Its real-world 4-liter V8 twin-turbo produces about 800PS and the road car was limited to 500 examples, a detail that helps explain why this model is so sought after. Tamiya captures those cues in a faithful 1/10 scale RC body that highlights the Senna's angular aero surfaces.
The TT-02 platform is prized for straightforward assembly and predictable handling. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout places the battery to the left and motor to the right for a balanced centre of gravity. Matching suspension arms and uprights cut down on parts confusion, while selectable wheelbases, ground clearances and tread settings plus ten gear ratio choices let you tune the car for different surfaces.
The model's polycarbonate shell recreates the Senna's complex shapes and comes with ABS mirrors and a rear wing to complete the silhouette. Large urethane bumpers help protect the body, and the kit includes 10-spoke gun-metal wheels with racing radial tires. Assembly requires painting, fixing body parts and applying stickers, which makes this a hands-on project for scale fans.
For scale model enthusiasts and RC racers who value detail and tunability, the Tamiya McLaren Senna on the TT-02 chassis combines realistic looks with a chassis that supports upgrades and setup work.
