Classic JZA80 Supra adapted to BT-01 modular chassis

This kit pairs the celebrated Toyota Supra lines with the BT-01 chassis, producing a model that is visually faithful and mechanically versatile. The Metallic Blue pre-painted body offers instant appeal while the chassis gives scope for setup changes and maintenance work.

Configure wheelbase and drivetrain without major teardown

The BT-01 allows choice of two wheelbase settings and supports switching between front-wheel and rear-wheel drive with minimal disassembly. Those options yield up to six practical chassis setups to explore handling differences.

Precision-oriented double wishbone suspension

A 4-wheel double wishbone arrangement with symmetrical geometry and friction dampers delivers balanced responses. The suspension design simplifies build steps while providing consistent on-track behaviour.

Detail parts and period-correct finishing

The polycarbonate body reflects the JZA80 silhouette and is enhanced by separate mirrors, wing and light housings for an authentic finish. Silver 10-spoke wheels paired with racing radial tyres round out the model's period-accurate presentation.

The Tamiya Supra on the BT-01 platform suits builders who value authentic styling and straightforward chassis versatility. It is accessible for newcomers yet offers enough scope for experienced modellers.

Basic hobby tools are sufficient: small screwdrivers, hobby knife, side cutters and pliers. A thread-lock and light grease help with long-term reliability.
Wheelbase selection and tyre choice have the biggest impact. Changing between front- and rear-drive also alters weight distribution and corner behaviour noticeably.
The supplied 540-brushed motor is fine for club and casual running. For serious competition, many builders opt for a brushless motor and matching ESC for greater power and efficiency.
Store the body away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Keep it on a flat surface or in a protective box to prevent warping or scuffs to the paintwork.
