Experience the Thrill of Porsche Racing with this Detailed 1/10 Scale RC Model
The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car is a legend in the world of motorsport, dominating the Porsche Super Cup racing series globally. This assembly kit recreates the VIP version of this iconic vehicle, a car run directly by Porsche and driven by various guest drivers at each race. The powerful and aerodynamic form, complete with the signature rear wing, is expertly molded in lightweight yet durable polycarbonate. Separate side mirror parts and metal-plated light cases enhance the realism, allowing for optional LED installation for both front and rear lights. The kit includes a comprehensive sticker sheet to faithfully reproduce the livery of numerous sponsors and racing marks.
Evolved TT-01 Type-E Chassis for Superior Handling
Underneath the stunning bodywork lies the evolved shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E chassis. This chassis is engineered for optimal balance, positioning the motor and battery low and close to the center for a reduced center of gravity and improved handling. A fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers significantly increase chassis rigidity, contributing to enhanced durability and performance. The three-piece steering tie rod system provides precise and smooth steering response, essential for navigating tight corners and maintaining control at speed.
The combination of a low center of gravity design, balanced weight distribution, four-wheel double wishbone suspension, and front and rear differential gears delivers an exceptional driving experience. Mesh design wheels paired with racing slick tires complete the authentic racing aesthetic and provide excellent grip on a variety of surfaces. For enthusiasts looking to further enhance performance, a wide range of Hop-Up Option parts are readily available to customize and upgrade the TT-01 Type-E chassis to your exact specifications.
