The Tamiya 58516 - 1/10 RC BMW 318i STW reproduces the look of the touring car that raced to prominence in the mid 1990s. The clear polycarbonate shell captures the car's aerodynamic profile and the separately moulded mirrors and rear spoiler increase realism for display or on-track authenticity.
TT-01 Type-E Chassis Overview
At its core the TT-01 Type-E chassis offers a simple build path with reliable performance. The shaft-driven 4WD provides even power delivery and the layout keeps the centre of gravity low for better stability. Reinforced components like the fiberglass nylon upper deck improve overall chassis rigidity for consistent lap times.
Handling and Suspension Characteristics
Equipped with 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and front and rear differential gears, the TT-01 Type-E delivers predictable steering. Oil-filled dampers let you fine tune rebound and compression while the slick tyres on white mesh wheels help maintain traction on smooth surfaces.
