This vehicle was run by the GAZOO Racing team, and took part in the Shinshiro Rally stage of the multi-stage TRD Rally Challenge Series held in Japan in 2012.
The car finished in a credible 13th place overall (8th in the Toyota-only Class 4), but perhaps most remarkably, the GAZOO Racing TRD 86 was actually driven by the President of the Toyota motor company during the race.
The Tamiya RC car is based on the XV-01 platform.
The 4WD XV-01 chassis offers dynamic R/C rally driving on both tarmac and gravel surfaces.
It features a front-motor, belt-driven 4WD layout with front and rear enclosed gearboxes equipped with gear differential units.
The box-like main frame incorporates covers and wheel well liners to provide superb protection against dirt and debris.
The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension ensures plenty of suspension stroke and ground clearance and is matched with Rally Block Tires on replica wheels for realistic handling.
