Unveiling the GT-01 Chassis

For those looking to push the boundaries of performance, Tamiya offers a full range of option parts and spare parts. From enhanced transmission components like the ball differential and slipper clutch to universal shafts equipped with full ball bearings, every aspect of the GT-01 chassis can be fine-tuned to meet the demands of serious racers. This flexibility makes the TamTech-Gear Porsche Turbo RSR not just a static model, but a dynamic platform for exploration and innovation.
