For many modellers, the satisfaction of a hand-built RC outweighs off-the-shelf convenience. Tamiya's TamTech-Gear range is familiar to club racers, and the Tamiya TamTech-Gear GB-01 chassis kit brings that platform into a build-yourself format for those who like to set up their own car.
The GB-01 serves as a friendly introduction to kit building while remaining interesting to experienced hobbyists. The design keeps assembly approachable but leaves room for setup tweaks and upgrades as you gain confidence.
Several critical pieces are pre-assembled, including the rear ball differential and the universal shaft, which cuts down on fiddly operations. The included CVA damper set helps you get suspension settings close to right without hunting for parts.
Equipped with a type 370 motor, the chassis delivers over 30 minutes of running in normal conditions, while accepting any TamTech-Gear body so you can change the car's look or try lighter shells for different handling characteristics.
If you enjoy learning how setup choices affect handling, the Tamiya TamTech-Gear GB-01 is a compact, rewarding project that balances simple construction with genuine tuning potential.
