Add a Classic GT-R to Your Garage with Tamiya 57779

The Tamiya 57779 - 1/10 R/C XB Nissan GT-R blends accurate styling with accessible engineering for modelers and weekend drivers. Based on the Nissan GT-R introduced in December 2007, this kit mirrors the road car's silhouette while remaining friendly to hobbyists who want a ready-to-run classic.

Bodywork and Lighting Details

The body is formed from tough polycarbonate to keep weight down while holding crisp contours. Integrated bright LED lighting includes two front lights and two rear lights in plated metal housings for an authentic night-time appearance. The model sits on detailed 7-spoke wheels fitted with tread-pattern tires to match the GT-R aesthetic.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis Highlights

Underneath, the TT-01 Type-E chassis uses a shaft-driven full-time 4WD layout with the motor mounted longitudinally to help balance handling. The bathtub frame and fiberglass-reinforced nylon parts, including the upper deck and gear covers, add stiffness and longevity for regular running.

Design choices like a low center of gravity and a balanced weight distribution combine with a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and front and rear differential gears to deliver predictable cornering and stable straight-line tracking.

Key Technical Details

Tamiya 57779 gives experienced builders and newcomers a reliable, well-detailed GT-R platform that balances realistic looks with straightforward serviceability.
