- Is this a static model or a running RC car?
- It is a running RC car. The kit includes the TT-02 shaft-driven 4WD chassis and a polycarbonate body, so you add electronics to drive it.
- What else do I need to complete it?
- Paint, glue, hobby tools, and for RC use a motor, speed controller, servo, radio gear and battery. None of these are in the box.
- How hard is it to paint the body?
- Harder than a styrene kit. Polycarbonate bodies are painted from the inside in layers, so plan the color order before you start.
- Does it include decals for the Senna livery?
- Yes, decals and metal transfers are included for the badges and trim. The glass roof and lower door windows are molded tinted.

- About 198 mm long, 91 mm wide and 60 mm tall at 1/24 scale, with a 257 mm wheelbase on the chassis.
