Refine Your RC with Tamiya 40172 GT-01 Front Wheels

The Tamiya 40172 GT-01 Front 5-Hole Wheels are aimed at builders who want dependable front-end behaviour on TamTech-Gear platforms. These wheels focus on consistent steering and mileage resistance under regular use.

Key Traits of the GT-01 5-Hole Wheels

Design: The 5-hole pattern offers a clean look while helping to limit rotating mass for steadier steering.
Material: Built to withstand track stresses and retain shape through frequent runs.
Compatibility: Best matched to GB-01 and GB-02 chassis for correct fitment with standard Tamiya front hubs.
Functionality: Supports better tyre contact at the front, improving turn-in consistency.

What are common upgrades to pair with these wheels?

Drivers often combine firmer front springs or stiffer anti-roll bars with these wheels to refine front grip and reduce understeer on tight tracks.

How do these wheels affect tyre wear?

A more stable front end can spread tyre load more evenly, which may help reduce uneven wear when set up correctly.

Any tips for fitting tyres to avoid imbalance?

Seat the tyre fully on the rim, run a slow spin check, and if needed add small amounts of balance putty inside the tyre to eliminate vibration at speed.

Will these wheels work with aluminium hexes?

They are compatible with typical hex setups used on GB chassis, including aluminium hexes, provided the hex size matches the wheel bore.
