RC modelling mixes engineering and creativity, and Tamiya has long delivered reliable TamTech-Gear kits. The Tamiya TamTech-Gear GB-01 chassis kit is aimed at hobbyists who want to learn the mechanics behind their car by assembling and tuning a compact 1/12 platform.
The GB-01 is friendly for newcomers but also offers a tidy platform for experienced builders to tweak. Building the chassis gives insight into setup choices and lets you personalise gear ratios, suspension and cosmetic options.
The kit comes with important parts pre-installed, such as the rear ball differential and universal shaft, reducing fiddly steps. The CVA damper set is included too, making it easier to dial in ride and damping for different surfaces.
The included type 370 motor provides long run times of around 30 minutes under modest loads. The chassis accepts any TamTech-Gear body shell, providing flexibility to change style or experiment with different aero setups.
This GB-01 chassis kit is a compact, approachable build that rewards careful assembly and tuning, making it a solid addition for anyone wanting to step up from RTR hulls to a fully customisable platform.
