Tamiya 1/10 Ford GT Mk II TT-02 4WD RC Car Kit
Tamiya 1/10 Ford GT Mk II TT-02 4WD RC Car Kit
The Tamiya 1/10 Ford GT Mk II 2020 (TT-02) RC Assembly Kit replicates the track-only Ford GT Mk II supercar in a detailed RC on-road car. Built on the user-friendly TT-02 shaft-driven 4WD chassis, it features a polycarbonate body with ABS wing and mirror parts. Designed for scale RC car enthusiasts, this kit offers a customizable build for on-road performance and display.
Performance
The TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the motor on the right and battery on the left, ensuring balanced handling for on-road racing or drifting. The shaft-driven 4WD system, with sealed gear differentials, delivers smooth power transfer, while identical left and right suspension arms enhance stability. The kit requires a separately sold motor (e.g., 540-brushed or brushless), ESC, and battery, allowing performance customization up to ~30 mph with brushless setups. Some users note soft stock dampers, upgradeable with aftermarket oil-filled shocks. Traction may be limited on slick surfaces without high-grip tires. The full ball-bearing upgrade (sold separately) reduces friction for efficiency.
Design and Features
The polycarbonate body, accurately molded to replicate the Ford GT Mk II’s aerodynamic lines, includes ABS plastic wing and mirror parts for enhanced scale realism. Pre-cut wheel arches and pre-drilled body post holes simplify assembly, while decals and masking seals recreate the car’s livery. The absence of included electronics allows builder flexibility but increases setup costs. The body may require careful painting to avoid overspray, and no LED lights are included for nighttime driving, though aftermarket kits are compatible. The TT-02 chassis supports extensive aftermarket upgrades, like aluminum parts, for improved durability.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
The TT-02’s symmetrical design and detailed manual make assembly accessible for beginners, typically taking 4–6 hours. The kit requires a 2.4GHz radio, servo, ESC, motor, and a 7.2V NiMH or 2S LiPo battery, with runtimes of 15–30 minutes, depending on the setup. Maintenance is straightforward, thanks to accessible gearboxes; however, small screws may strip with frequent handling. The chassis’ simplicity suits hobbyists new to RC assembly kits, while advanced builders can tweak gear ratios or suspension settings.
Special Notes: This is an Assembly Kit, requiring user assembly and additional components (2.4GHz radio, servo, ESC, motor, battery, charger, and tools, not included). Suitable for ages 14+ with aftermarket upgrades for enhanced performance.
