TAMIYA 58733 1/10 R/C Toyota Supra (JZA80) (BT-01)

1/10 R/C Toyota Supra (JZA80) (BT-01)

Here comes another brand new chassis; the 2WD BT-01 chassis offers choices of FF/MR/FR drive system based upon the drive system of the actual car your body recreates.

Its very first body depicts the fourth generation Toyota Supra (JZA80) which was announced as a Toyota’s flagship sportscar in 1993. Its top grade RZ model employed a 3-liter inline-6 twin turbo engine capable of 280hp, 6-speed transmission, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and ventilated disc brakes for front and rear.

The muscular form and high-spec performance mesmerized fans all over the world and achieved success in motorsports races.

The fourth generation Supra (JZA80) makes an appearance on our new 2WD chassis: the BT-01 offers a choice of front- and rear-wheel drive setups, with the latter having FR (front motor) and MR (midship-rear motor) options. It can also be set up with 251mm and 257mm wheelbases, and has unitized sections to make it easier to work on your car.

Here is the BT-01 chassis, which is a joy to build and work on thanks to its use of various unitized sections.	The servo is housed in the right rear, with a long link rod used in the 3-piece setup.	The double-wishbone suspension uses symmetrical arms.
While coil-sprung dampers are fitted as standard, the BT-01 can be used with separately sold TRF Special Dampers (Hard Black Coating).	The unitized motor mount is affixed to the chassis with 2 screws.	The BT-01 uses a plastic 4-bevel differential gear, and is compatible with TT-02 Hop-Up Options such as ball differentials and oil-filled differentials.
