Classic racing livery recreated for scale RC

RC collectors and drivers will appreciate Tamiya's 1/12 Porsche 935 Martini on the GT-01 chassis as a precise TamTech-Gear entry. This release brings the Porsche 935's 1976 racing heritage into a compact, radio-controlled package complete with the famous Martini stripes and aerodynamic profile.

Engineered for road-style handling

The GT-01 platform focuses on handling with a lightweight layout and low centre of gravity to improve cornering. A Type 370 motor supplies efficient power, while the rear-wheel-drive arrangement mirrors the original car's balance. The setup includes four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and horizontally-mounted front dampers for composed behaviour on smooth circuits.

Scale accuracy and tough construction

Tamiya reproduces the 935 bodylines in durable polycarbonate, including the pronounced rear wing and flowing fenders. Reverse body mounts keep the silhouette clean, and a driver figure adds cockpit realism. The kit ships with an ESC, receiver, servo, and transmitter, but you will need to buy a battery and charger separately.

Tuning and optional upgrades

The Porsche 935 Martini is compatible with a range of option parts for fine-tuning. Hobbyists can install upgrades like ball differentials, slipper clutches, or universal shafts to match their preferred driving style or track demands.

Tamiya 56709 Porsche 935 Martini on the GT-01 chassis blends period-correct styling with tunable performance, making it a solid choice for both track sessions and shelf display.

The kit is modular and comes with key electronics, so a modeller with basic RC assembly skills can complete it. Some patience is needed for body trimming and setup.
Use a compact LiPo or NiMH pack that fits the GT-01 battery tray. Check your radio and ESC specifications for recommended voltage and connector type.
Soften front damping slightly and reduce rear toe-in to improve turn-in. Lightweight wheels and a lower ride height can also sharpen handling for tight circuits.
Polycarbonate spares and decal sets are commonly offered for popular Tamiya models; check specialist suppliers for replacement panels or liveries.
