Tamiya Audi R8 LMS 2008 on TT-02: Easy to Build, Fun to Drive

If you are getting into on-road RC, this Tamiya Audi R8 LMS 2008 kit is a practical introduction. The polycarbonate shell captures the R8 LMS silhouette while giving a rewarding assembly and realistic road presence.

Racing Heritage Brought to a 1/10 Scale

The full-size Audi R8 LMS made its mark in 2008 with a 5.2 liter V10 and GT3 design cues. This RC interpretation pays tribute to that race-bred history while translating it into a manageable model that keeps the spirit of the original in a 1/10 package.

TT-02 Chassis: User Friendly but Upgradeable

The TT-02 chassis is celebrated for its balance of simplicity and flexibility. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout provides steady handling, and the longitudinal setup helps distribute components for predictable performance. Builders can swap wheelbases, alter ride height, and choose gear ratios to tailor the car to personal tastes.

Tuning and Driving Notes for New Pilots

Start with the standard TT-02 configuration for consistent handling, then adjust incremental changes as you learn. The supplied black 16-spoke wheels paired with slick tyres give a genuine on-road feel on sealed surfaces; try small changes to camber and toe before moving to more complex mods.

This Tamiya Audi R8 LMS 2008 on the TT-02 chassis balances authentic styling with straightforward maintenance, making it a solid pick for hobbyists growing their on-road skills.
