Tamiya 1/10 Datsun 240Z Rally Car w/TT01E Chassis Kit 58462

The East African Safari is one of the world's more grueling off-road racing events. It began in 1953 to mark the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The event took place through the East African nations of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The event continued over four days to complete the 6,200km journey.

After a victory in 1970, Nissan entered the 1971 Safari Rally with four Datsun 240Z series cars. The 240Z, which were powered by a 5-speed straight 6 L24 OHC engine, became popular among spectators because of its incredible performance. The No. 11 Datsun 240Z, driven by Herrman and Schuller won the Over-all Victory, Class Victory, Team Victory and Manufactures Championship.

Nissan became the first manufacturer to win back-to-back victories in all 3 categories and Herrman and Schuller became the first team to win back-to-back victories.

The Tamiya electric powered 1/10 scale version of the Datsun 240Z features the popular TT01 type E composite chassis with 4 wheel shaft drive train. The stock motor is a brushed high-torque 540 motor with pre-soldered leads and the kit comes with a TEU-104BK ESC. The drive train is fully ball raced for super smooth operation. The front and rear bevel geared differentials are sealed within reinforced plastic housings.

The TT01 has independent double wishbone suspension along with oil filled plastic bodied shock dampers to absorb the everyday knocks and crashes. The kit is also supplied complete with the 240Z unpainted body shell which will allow you to customize your paint job.
