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.

Highlights

Licensed Bodyshell

The polycarbonate body meticulously recreates the legendary form of the fourth-generation Toyota Supra (JZA80), a favourite among JDM car enthusiasts.

Additional Scale Detail

Separate headlight cases, ABS plastic side mirrors, and ABS plastic rear wing provide a high level of scale realism, making this model stand out.

Three Point Steering System

The BT-01 features a unique three-section steering system that delivers exceptional responsiveness and control. The servo is strategically positioned at the rear right, connected to the steering linkage via a long link rod for optimal efficiency.

Easy Motor Access

Maintenance is made easy thanks to the BT-01's unitised motor mount. Secured with just two screws, it allows for quick and easy access to the motor for adjustments or upgrades.

Adjustable Mid Mount Motor

The BT-01's adjustable midship motor layout enhances balance and handling. Positioned on the rear left, the motor delivers power smoothly to the rear wheels through a reliable propeller shaft but can also be moved to the front right for a higher level of weight bias customisability.

Race Equipment Ready

The BT-01 is competition-ready with a built-in transponder stay. This convenient feature provides a secure mounting point for your transponder, ensuring accurate timing and hassle-free racing.

Easy Battery Tray Access

The BT-01 allows for quick and easy battery swaps with the convenient flip-up holder. Simply flip the holder open to access the battery compartment, making battery changes as quick and easy as possible.

Adjustable Chassis Set Ups

Offers a unique build experience and the ability to switch between drive configurations (Front/Mid-Rear) and wheelbase lengths for customised performance.

High Spec Suspension Design

Double wishbone design on all four wheels with friction dampers provides a solid foundation, with upgrade potential to TRF Special Dampers available.

Geared Differentials

Plastic 4-bevel differential gear ensures smooth power delivery and is compatible with performance-enhancing hop-ups like ball differentials.

Easy Maintenance

Unitised sections (motor mount, suspension) streamline assembly and make adjustments or repairs quick and straightforward.
