Tamiya 58455 - 1/10 Nissan GT-R Drift Spec RC Kit  [58455]

Controlled Drift Performance with the Tamiya 58455 Nissan GT-R

The Tamiya 58455 Nissan GT-R Drift Spec is built to teach and reward drifting technique through thoughtful engineering. Mounted on the TT-01D Type-E chassis, the kit balances ease of assembly with tunable handling so drivers at different skill levels can refine their slides.

TT-01D Type-E Chassis Highlights

The TT-01D Type-E chassis is known for a lightweight bathtub layout and straightforward build process that suit track and practice sessions. Its 4WD shaft-driven design gives predictable traction, while coil spring-damped, four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension helps keep the car stable through long drifts. Sealed front and rear differential gearboxes assist with consistent handling lap after lap.

Drift-Tuned Components

Key drift parts include an RS-540 sport-tuned motor paired with an aluminum heat sink to manage temperature under load. CVA mini shock dampers and soft springs improve wheel contact and response, and adjustable upper arms let you dial in steering and drift angle to match your driving style.

Super Driftech Tire Design

The kit ships with Super Driftech tyres made from a resin and rubber compound and sized at 26mm width. These tyres are designed for sustained drift sessions, delivering the right balance of slip and control for sliding on sealed surfaces.

Upgrade Paths and Extras

Owners can expand the build with optional items from Tamiya, including the LED Light Unit TLU-01 with white and red LEDs, plus parts like a Hi-Torque Servo Saver or carbon damper stays for more rigid setup and fine tuning.

The Tamiya 58455 Nissan GT-R Drift Spec gives a practical platform for learning and refining drift skills. Its durable chassis and upgrade options make it a solid pick for drivers wanting a reliable drift project.
