Take on a different kind of RC project with the Tamiya Dancing Rider T3-01, a three-wheeler that brings fresh handling dynamics to the hobby. The kit invites you to build and then explore a steering style that rewards careful control.
The Dancing Rider uses a deliberate lean system to change how you approach turns. With a polycarbonate body crafted under Atsushi Arino's guidance, the model looks striking while remaining light and responsive. The sculpted driver figure adds personality to the assembled trike.
The T3-01 chassis splits into two sections connected by a central link so the front can house radio gear and battery while the gearbox and motor sit in the rear. This layout lets the servo manage the lean and creates a new-feeling steering input for drivers used to four-wheel rigs.
A front telescopic fork with coil spring cushions impacts and the rear cam-slide provides controlled travel. This combination supports steady tracking and helps the vehicle recover if tipped during spirited runs.
For modellers who enjoy quirky designs and hands-on driving feel, the Tamiya Dancing Rider T3-01 delivers an entertaining build and a novel on-road experience.
