Overall length: 497 mm. The photo shows the kit assembled and painted. [A Japanese challenger who won a tough endurance race] Nrburgring is a German circuit known for its toughness. It is also used as a development course for sports cars, so you may hear the name in Japan as well. Subaru has been challenging the 24-hour endurance race held here since 2008, and has won its class four times. The WRX STI NBR Challenge was created for this race based on Subaru's high-performance sports sedan WRX STI. NBR stands for Nrburgring. This is an assembly kit for an electric radio-controlled car that reproduces the machine that won its class in 2016. The complex front bumper spoiler, the bonnet with air vents on both sides of the air intake, the edgy front and rear fenders, and the diffuser-shaped rear end are realistically reproduced in polycarbonate to create a more powerful form. The door mirrors and the rear wing with integrated stays are separate plastic parts that give a sense of scale. Of course, many sponsor logos are also available as stickers. [The TT-02 chassis is a shaft-driven 4WD with excellent maneuverability and fun to set up] The chassis is the TT-02, a shaft-driven 4WD. The well-balanced design with the battery on the left and the motor on the right vertically arranged gives it excellent maneuverability and stability, and the suspension arms and uprights are common to both sides for easy assembly, and the gear case is split into upper and lower parts for easy maintenance. In addition, by rearranging the parts, you can choose from two types of wheelbase, vehicle height, and tread, and you can enjoy setting up the motor mount with a wide range of 10 gear ratios. In addition, the wheel hubs are designed to look like brake discs, and the front bumper support is modeled after the bumper of a real racing kart, giving it plenty of playfulness. Slick tires are mounted on the gunmetal-colored mesh wheels.
