Assemble and Tune the Tamiya TamTech-Gear GB-01

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.

Practical Choice for Newcomers and Veterans

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.

Clear Build Flow and Useful Pre-Fits

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.

Long Runtime and Flexible Styling

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Motor: Type 370
  • Compatibility: All TamTech-Gear bodies
  • Assembly: User-friendly with pre-installed components
  • Additional Required Items: ESC, receiver, servo, and 2-channel transmitter

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.

No prior experience is required, though careful reading of the instructions and basic tool skills will make the process much smoother.
A reliable 2-channel transmitter covers basic steering and throttle. If you plan future upgrades, consider a transmitter with adjustable end points and dual rates.
Keep the car clean and dry, remove batteries to avoid drain or corrosion, and store in a cool place out of direct sunlight to protect plastics and electronics.
Start with upgraded tyres and fine-tune damper settings. Swapping springs or using different tyre compounds will have a noticeable effect on grip and balance.
