Tamiya 58455 - 1/10 Nissan GT-R Drift Spec Racing Kit  [58455]

Slide Control and Tuning for the Tamiya 58455 GT-R

The Tamiya 58455 Nissan GT-R Drift Spec blends realistic drift behaviour with a chassis built for adjustments. Based on the TT-01D Type-E platform, the kit is suited to hobbyists wanting to learn setup and handling for consistent slides.

What the TT-01D Type-E Offers

The TT-01D Type-E chassis features a lightweight bathtub form and a simple assembly path that helps you get on track quickly. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout gives balanced power delivery, while coil spring-damped independent double wishbone suspension provides controlled movement through long corner slides. Sealed front and rear diffs keep gear action reliable.

Parts Focused on Drifting

Drift-oriented parts include the RS-540 sport-tuned motor and an aluminium heat sink to reduce heat buildup. The kit uses CVA mini shock dampers with soft springs for improved compliance, and adjustable upper arms let you tweak steering response and drift angle.

Tyre Compound and Width

Super Driftech tyres fitted to this model combine resin and rubber to manage grip during slides. With a 26mm width, they are tailored for prolonged drift sessions and predictable slip on smooth surfaces.

Personalise Your Setup

There are plenty of optional parts to refine the car, such as the LED Light Unit TLU-01 with white and red LEDs, plus servo savers and carbon damper stays for those wanting firmer chassis behaviour and more customisation.

The Tamiya 58455 Nissan GT-R Drift Spec is a flexible platform for learning drift setup and improving technique. Robust parts and upgrade options make it a rewarding kit for ongoing tuning.
