This 1\/10 scale model recreates the iconic race car developed by West German racing team Zakspeed—a machine born from intensive wind tunnel testing that weighed a mere 790kg and featured an extremely low-profile wide body. The car achieved its first DRM victory at the 11th race in Nürburgring in October 1978 and continued winning into the following season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with Tamiya's versatile TT-02 shaft-driven 4WD chassis, this kit delivers historic Group 5 racing style with modern RC reliability. The distinctive form is captured using a lightweight, rigid 1.0mm thick polycarbonate body that faithfully recreates the dramatic aerodynamics of the original. With its staggered wheel setup featuring front mesh wheels with racing slicks and rear wide mesh wheels with wide racing slicks, this limited-edition kit delivers authentic vintage motorsport appeal for display or spirited on-road driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/10 scale R\/C model assembly kit with 488mm length, 205mm width, 124mm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic 1978 Ford Zakspeed Capri Turbo DRM champion body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, rigid 1.0mm thick polycarbonate body shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate polycarbonate rear wing\/spoiler and headlight cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely low-profile wide body from wind tunnel development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTT-02 shaft-driven 4WD chassis with longitudinal layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront 2-piece silver mesh wheels (Item 50548) with racing slick tires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear 2-piece silver wide mesh wheels (Item 50549) with wide racing slicks (Item 50547)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold color wheel caps front and rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e540-Type Torque Tuned motor included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHobbyWing THW 1060 ESC included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLivery stickers and window masking tape included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial limited-edition release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior stability from balanced shaft-driven 4WD layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery on left, motor on right for optimal weight distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction dampers for predictable handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGear differentials for smooth cornering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly adaptable with 10 possible gear ratio configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 wheelbase options, 2 ground clearance settings, 2 tread setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide stance and low body profile provide planted feel at speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake disc-shaped wheel hubs for scale detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for on-road driving on smooth asphalt and tarmac surfaces.
