Description
Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

Tamiya's BT-01 chassis redefines customisation for RC. Choose your drive system — Front-Wheel Drive, Mid-Rear Wheel Drive, or Rear-Wheel Drive — to perfectly match your chosen body. This kit comes with the iconic fourth-generation Toyota Supra (JZA80) body.

The BT-01's quick-switch design allows you to swap between drive configurations without disassembling key components. Simply adjust the final gear and steering linkage direction, and choose from front (FR) or midship rear (MR) motor placement for rear-wheel drive. Its symmetrical 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with friction dampers ensures smooth handling, while unitised sections simplify assembly and maintenance.
