Tamiya 1/10 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 On-Road RC Kit 58740

The iconic Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 makes its way to the highly versatile BT-01 chassis! To faithfully recreate the motor and drive train layout as much as possible of the full-size car, this kit instructs the builder to assemble the chassis in the short wheelbase, midship rear motor / rear wheel drive (MR) setup. This layout configuration provides rear wheel drive handling excitement at every turn and exciting throttle response.

The Porsche 911 RSR 2.8

The Porsche Carrera RS 2.7 is a legend of the Porsche 911 series. Developed to join European GT races in 1973, it employed a 2,687cc horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine capable of 210hp, a lightweight body with improved aerodynamics, and wide rear tires. The Carrera RSR 2.8 racing version increased displacement to 2,808cc and output to over 300hp; in 1973, it was a European GT race champion and took numerous global victories.

BT-01 Chassis

The 2WD BT-01 chassis gives the choice of two types of wheelbases, and front-or rear-wheel drive system. Without removing the battery pack, motor, and R/C equipment setups from the centre frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front-and rear-wheel drive; front (FR) or midship rear (MR) motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as the motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ese of assembly and effective maintenance.
