JZA80 styling on a versatile BT-01 base

This release brings the classic Toyota Supra silhouette to the BT-01 chassis in a ready-for-display Metallic Blue finish. The kit is aimed at modelers who want authentic looks with modular mechanics that are simple to work on. It balances period styling with practical tuning options.

Modular BT-01 platform for different setups

The BT-01 chassis lets you select two wheelbase lengths and switch the drive layout from front-wheel to rear-wheel drive without stripping the car down. Those choices unlock six distinct configurations so you can tailor behaviour to your track or personal taste.

Suspension tuned for steady handling

Equipped with a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, the chassis uses a symmetrical design and friction dampers to give stable, predictable handling. The layout is build-friendly and makes maintenance straightforward for regular use.

Faithful body details and add-on parts

The lightweight polycarbonate shell recreates the JZA80 profile while separate parts such as mirrors, wing and light housings add realism. Finished with silver 10-spoke wheels and racing radial tyres, the kit looks the part straight from the box.

The Tamiya Supra on BT-01 offers a mix of show-ready looks and practical chassis versatility, suitable for modders who enjoy tuning and hobbyists seeking a reliable, easy-to-service build.

Yes. The pre-painted polycarbonate finish accepts water-slide and adhesive decals, but test placement first and use low-tack tape when masking for custom paint work.
The chassis accepts a standard 540-size motor bay. Upgrading to a brushless setup is common, but check ESC compatibility and gearing for reliable performance.
The BT-01 is designed for hobby use with regular maintenance. Its simple suspension and chassis layout make repair and part replacement straightforward after frequent runs.
The racing radial tyres are optimised for dry, smooth surfaces. In wet or slippery conditions choose tyres with deeper tread or compounds made for moisture.
