Realistic GT-R Detail in the Tamiya 57779 Model

The Tamiya 57779 - 1/10 R/C XB Nissan GT-R reproduces the lines of the GT-R launched in December 2007 while keeping maintenance and setup straightforward for hobbyists. It is aimed at collectors and drivers who value authenticity and reliability.

Exterior Finish and Lighting Features

The polycarbonate shell preserves fine styling while remaining lightweight. Bright LEDs for two headlights and two taillights are mounted in metal-plated bezels to enhance the night-time look. The car rolls on 7-spoke rims with treaded tyres to reflect the real GT-R stance.

Chassis Design and Drive System

The heart of the model is the TT-01 Type-E chassis with a shaft-driven full-time 4WD arrangement and a longitudinal motor mount that aids in balance. The bathtub chassis and fiberglass-reinforced nylon components, including the upper deck and gear covers, improve durability for ongoing use.

A low centre of gravity and considered weight distribution, plus a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and front and rear differential gears, give stable handling and predictable responses on varied flat surfaces.
