The model’s pre-painted polycarbonate body in Tamiya Metallic Blue makes the assembly process simpler, especially for beginner builders. The cut-out wheel arches and pre-made body mount holes provide a precise and easy fit. With no sponsorship livery, this kit gives you the freedom to design your own, offering a blank canvas for customization and personal expression.

Rear-wheel drive cars can opt for either a front (FR) or midship rear (MR) motor position. The chassis boasts a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with a symmetrical structure and friction dampers for smooth handling. Streamlined assembly and maintenance are facilitated by unitized sections like the motor mount, final gears, and suspension components.
