The Tamiya 58718 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165) is a 1/10 scale RC car kit built around Tamiya's versatile TT-02 chassis, recreating the iconic Group A rally car that competed in the World Rally Championship in the late 1980s. This is a kit that requires assembly, making it well suited to builders with some prior experience of Tamiya kits or RC construction — though patient beginners will find the process manageable with Tamiya's clear instruction manual. The finished model delivers a realistic replica of the ST165 Celica GT-Four with a body styled after the original rally machine, mounted on a shaft-driven four-wheel-drive platform that handles a variety of surfaces including tarmac, gravel paths, and light off-road terrain.
