Tamiya Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V (TT-02)

A Masterful Evolution

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was developed as a base for rally cars, with continuous development since its debut in 1992. This R/C model assembly kit depicts the 5th generation model sold from 1998 which featured a 1,770mm-width body, and achieved both Maker and Driver Championships. The powerful form of the car is captured in style by a polycarbonate body, with stickers included to decorate it. The model is based upon the TT-02 chassis.

Adaptable TT-02 Chassis offers balanced shaft driven 4WD

The shaft driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to offer excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings (the higher position is used with the Lancia Delta Integrale) and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports.
