Celebrating the Garaiya GT Lineage

Tamiya continues its tradition of accurate race models with the 58409 - 1/10 RC ARTA Garaiya TB-03. This kit echoes the real ASL Garaiya campaigned by Autobacs Racing Team Aguri in the 2007 Japan Super GT season, where drivers like Morio Nitta and Shinichi Takagi helped the team to a strong fourth place in GT300.

Low Centre of Gravity and Aerodynamic Profile

The TB-03 frame improves on earlier designs by pairing a bathtub chassis with a motor cooling duct to maintain operating temperatures. The in-board front suspension uses a horizontal damper layout to achieve a low nose that complements the aerodynamic polycarbonate body.

Service-Friendly Motor Mount and Drivetrain

The kit includes a one-piece aluminum motor mount that simplifies gear changes, plus front and rear ball differentials for smooth power transfer. Reversible short suspension pieces and TRF416 knuckles add adjustability for track tuning.

The Tamiya 58409 - 1/10 RC ARTA Garaiya TB-03 is a great pick for hobbyists who want a period-correct GT model with modern TB-03 chassis features and solid tuning potential.

The kit requires careful assembly and basic knowledge of differential and suspension setup; a modest workshop and patience will get you a properly running car.
Typical upgrades include stiffer shock pistons, precision bearings, and a high-performance servo to improve steering response for circuit work.
Soft compound touring tyres provide grip for smooth asphalt; choose a tread and compound matched to ambient conditions for the best performance.
The integrated motor cooling duct helps reduce heat buildup in prolonged sessions, but monitoring motor temperature and gearing is still important for sustained high-speed running.
Brushless motors can be fitted if you plan gearing and cooling accordingly; check motor mount spacing and ensure the ESC and batteries are compatible with the increased power.
