The Tamiya BT-01 chassis presents a clever blend of adaptability and classic styling, giving drivers the option to run front-wheel, mid-rear or rear-wheel drive without heavy teardown. The kit pairs that adaptable underpinnings with a faithful Toyota Supra JZA80 polycarbonate body that captures the car's signature silhouette.
Launched as Toyota's headline sports car in 1993, the Supra JZA80 made its mark with a 280hp twin-turbo setup and sophisticated suspension. This 1/10 scale reproduction mirrors the Supra's flowing lines in durable polycarbonate, with separately molded mirrors and wing pieces to boost realism for display or running.
The BT-01 emphasises ease of conversion, letting you alter wheelbase and switch drive configuration without removing major components like the battery or motor. Its symmetrical double wishbone suspension and friction dampers offer predictable handling for road use and club racing alike.
From first-time builders to experienced tuners, the BT-01 appeals across skill levels. Unitised sections simplify assembly and maintenance, while the multiple motor layouts - MR, FF, FR - invite experimentation with different handling characteristics.
Tamiya's BT-01 offers a practical, hands-on platform for RC enthusiasts who want to try different drivetrains while enjoying the iconic Supra JZA80 look.
