The Tamiya BT-01 delivers an adaptable 2WD platform that supports front-wheel, mid-rear and rear-wheel arrangements. The package includes a scaled Toyota Supra JZA80 body that keeps the car's aggressive stance and classic proportions in polycarbonate form.
The Supra JZA80, introduced in 1993 with a 280hp twin-turbo power unit and progressive suspension, is faithfully represented here. The 1/10 body keeps key contours and comes with separately moulded mirrors and aero parts for a realistic finish when painted.
One of the BT-01s strengths is quick reconfiguration: you can alter wheelbase settings and change drive type without dismantling the motor or the battery compartment. The symmetrical double wishbone suspension and friction dampers deliver stable behaviour on smooth surfaces.
Builders will find the assembly approachable thanks to unitised sections that simplify routine maintenance. More experienced hobbyists can explore tuning options with the MR, FF and FR motor placements to alter handling balance and traction.
The BT-01 is a flexible and educational kit that blends a classic Supra shell with a platform built for experimenting with drive layouts and tuning choices.
