Compact rally classic recreated

The Tamiya 84227 is a faithful homage to the Renault 5 Turbo that left its mark on rally stages. This 1/12 scale R/C kit delivers authentic styling and a performance-minded layout; built on the M-05Ra chassis it gives extra ground clearance and longer suspension travel for mixed on-road and flat-dirt running.

Chassis tuned for tight handling

The M-05Ra is a rally-orientated take on the well known M-05 base. With increased suspension stroke and higher ride height, it copes well with bumps and uneven surfaces. Its 210mm short wheelbase sharpens turn-in and helps the model dart through technical sections.

Clear polycarbonate shell and included extras

The kit includes a painted-with-your-choice polycarbonate body that mirrors the Renault 5 Turbo silhouette. Tamiya throws in matte-finished gold plated wheels as a bonus, and the supplied rally block tires deliver dependable grip across different surfaces.

Simple powertrain for reliable running

A 540-type brushed motor is supplied, giving predictable performance for newcomers and experienced modellers alike. You will need a 2-channel radio and servos, plus a 6-cell battery with a standard Tamiya connector and a compatible charger to complete the car.

The Tamiya 84227 Renault 5 Turbo Rally kit is well suited to hobbyists who value classic rally styling and an adaptable chassis that can handle both smooth tarmac and light dirt tracks. It makes a strong addition to a collection or club race line up.

The assembly is straightforward with clear instructions; basic modelling tools and patience are the main requirements, making it accessible to first time builders.
A compact 2-channel radio and a small servo for steering fit well. The standard 540 brushed motor pairs reliably with a simple ESC or an on/off speed control for plug and play running.
The M-05Ra handles flat dirt and hard-packed trails, but deep grass or very rough terrain will limit performance due to the short wheelbase.
The matte-finish gold plated wheels are decorative and suitable for normal driving; they should be treated like any plated wheel to avoid cosmetic wear from harsh cleaning or impact.
