Tamiya Team Reinert Racing MAN TGS TT-01 Type-E

The Tamiya Team Reinert Racing MAN TGS TT-01 Type-E is a 1/14 scale 4WD truck kit, built on Tamiya's TT-01 chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 438mm long with a 257mm wheelbase. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply a Torque Tuned Motor and an electronic speed controller in the box.
