1/10 SCALE R/C 1978 FORD ZAKSPEED CAPRI TURBO (TT-02 CHASSIS)

Length: 488 mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

*Separate polycarbonate parts for rear wing/spoiler and headlight cases


This R/C model assembly kit recreates the 1978 Ford Zakspeed Capri Turbo from the 1978 DRM (German Racing Championship), a series which was a part of the immensely popular Group 5 racing scene in the 1970s and 1980s. The car - developed for the DRM by West German racing team Zakspeed – has its wide and low form depicted by a polycarbonate body, with stickers included to recreate color sections in the livery and various sponsor logos.

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. 2-piece wheels use semi-pneumatic slick tires.
