Reviving a Legend: The Tamiya 47433 Toyota Supra Racing (A80)
The Tamiya 47433 1/10 Toyota Supra Racing (A80) is more than just an R/C model; it's a tribute to one of the most iconic sports cars ever created. Originally released on the TL-01 chassis, this modern iteration finds its home on the versatile TT-02 chassis, offering improved stability and adaptability for both beginners and seasoned hobbyists.
TT-02 Chassis: Adaptability Meets Performance
The TT-02 chassis is a well-balanced, shaft-driven 4WD platform known for its ease of assembly and maintenance. With a longitudinal layout, the battery sits on the left while the motor resides on the right, ensuring excellent balance during high-speed runs. This chassis offers multiple customization options with two wheelbase settings, two ground clearance levels, and ten possible gear ratios, making it highly adaptable to various driving conditions. Its symmetric suspension arms and uprights further simplify assembly, while the gearboxes are designed for easy upkeep.
Precision and Detail in Every Component
The body of the Tamiya 47433 is crafted from lightweight yet durable polycarbonate, capturing the sleek lines of the Toyota Supra A80. It includes separately molded parts for side mirrors and a rear wing, enhancing the scale realism. The model rolls on six-spoke wheels fitted with racing slick tires, ensuring optimal grip on road surfaces. The inclusion of 4-bevel differential gears and a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system promises a smooth and responsive driving experience.

For those looking to push the boundaries of performance, Tamiya offers a range of Hop-Up Option parts for the TT-02 chassis.
