Inside the Tamiya 43536 Raikiri GT

The Tamiya 43536 - 1/10 XBG Raikiri GT brings together nitro power and a race-oriented TG10 Mk 2 FN chassis to deliver a convincing on-road experience. Designed for drivers who favour precision, the Raikiri GT balances realism with durable construction to stand up to regular track sessions.

Body and Handling Focus

Setup Tips from Experienced Drivers

Start by tuning spring rates and damper settings to match your driving surface. Small changes to roll stiffness and toe can noticeably alter turn-in and mid-corner balance. Try a few tyre compounds to find the best grip for asphalt or carpet tracks.
