Tamiya 58448 1/10 RC COROLLA Axio apr GT (TA05 ver.II)

2009 saw 12 domestic and international car makers fiercely contend for the Japanese Super GT championship. One GT300 class entrant was the Corolla Axio apr GT which now comes reproduced as a 1/10 R/C assembly kit. The highly distinctive aggressive features of the Corolla such as its low bonnet, bulging front fenders, roof, rear fender air intakes etc, have all been accurately reproduced with durable polycarbonate. In addition, separately molded resin side mirrors and rear wing, and polycarbonate rear fender fins provide the body with scale realism. The 4WD 2-belt driven TA05 ver.II chassis features an inboard front suspension layout for high performance driving. Even at R/C circuit, this machine will catch everyone’s attention.

The chassis width has been reduced for greater roll movement range during cornering. Thanks to the one-piece aluminum motor mount with cantilever center shaft, the position of the battery pack has been shifted forward, resulting in optimum balance and enhanced handling. The drivetrain features front and rear 37T ball differentials and an 18T center pulley. The four wheel double wishbone suspension features an inboard front suspension layout with short reversible suspension arms and uprights which have 1050 ball bearings. In addition, the separate suspension mounts help to achieve easier maintenance and setting changes.
