A Giant of the Rally World
The Audi quattro is a true rallying legend that was a pioneer of 4WD rally technology. This is an R/C model assembly kit recreating the Audi quattro Rallye A2, the car which debuted in 1983. It features an accurate polycarbonate body recreating the 2-door form, with separate parts for side mirrors, rear wing and light cases. The adaptable TT-02 chassis provides the base, with 5-spoke wheels and tread patterned tires.
TT-02: Adaptable, balanced shaft driven 4WD
The shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to give excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports. 5-spoke wheels are paired with tread-patterned tires.
- The instantly recognizable form of the car is recreated accurately in lightweight and durable polycarbonate.
- Also included in the kit are stickers to decorate the body, plus masking stickers for use in the paint job.
- Separate parts capture the distinctive triple fog lamp clusters, which add to the rally air of the model.
- This close-up shot shows the bullet-shaped side mirrors, also recreated using separately molded parts.
- At the rear of the car, the sporty wing is another separate part, with sticker-depicted oil coolers.
- Silver color 5-spoke wheels are paired with tread-patterned racing radial tires that provide a grippy drive.

Over and above either the Sport or Pro packages what would I need to buy to finish this kit please? Obvious thing would be paints but there might be more... Thanks, Peter
Asked by Peter Baker on 7th November 2021
Paint and tyre glue is all you would need extra to finish this off.
Answered by: Anthony @ Wheelspin Models
Can you use a lipo with this esc or would you need to upgrade esc? If so what would suit the car to run a lipo?
Asked by Jack on 29th December 2021
Yes, the ESC does have a low voltage cut-off so is fine for LiPo use. Something like say C-49440 would work
