Fine-Tune Handling with Tamiya 40172 GT-01 Front Wheels

If you want crisper steering on TamTech-Gear platforms, the Tamiya 40172 GT-01 Front 5-Hole Wheels are a sensible choice. These front rims focus on predictable handling and a tidy look for your chassis.

Why Choose the GT-01 5-Hole Design

Design: The five-hole pattern improves airflow and reduces rotational mass for more responsive turning.
Material: Produced from durable compounds to resist deformation during regular use.
Compatibility: Intended for GB-01 and GB-02 chassis, offering straightforward installation on matching Tamiya models.
Functionality: Promotes improved front traction and helps keep the car balanced under cornering loads.

Will these wheels change my steering feel?

Yes, the reduced mass and firmer rim structure can make the front end feel more direct, which many drivers notice during quick direction changes.

Are they painted or bare finish out of the box?

Finish can vary by batch; inspect the product photo or listing details. Many users choose to touch up with model paint for a custom look.

Do I need special tyre glue for these rims?

Standard RC tyre glue works fine when applied to the bead area. Make sure the tyre seats fully before the glue sets to avoid imbalance.

Can they be used on drift setups?

While designed for standard running, they can be fitted to drift cars if you select compatible slick or drift tyres and adjust toe and camber accordingly.
