Tamiya 1/10 RC McLaren Senna (TT-02 Chassis)

Exclusive Super Car

Unleashed on the world at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show, this super car bears the name of legendary racer Ayrton Senna. Its body features extensive carbon fiber sections, and is designed for impeccable aerodynamics and cooling. Power is provided by an 800ps 4-liter V8 twin turbo engine. With only 500 produced, the McLaren Senna was - and still is - hot property indeed. This assembly kit creates a model depicting the car, with a polycarbonate body capturing its enticing lines in style.

TT-02: Adaptable, 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 give 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 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. Dark gun metal color 10-spoke wheels use tread patterned semi-pneumatic tires.
