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.
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.
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.
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.
