The Tamiya BT-01 Chassis Kit is a revolutionary platform that puts the power of customisation in your hands. This versatile 1/10 scale chassis allows you to build your dream RC car with the freedom to choose between front-wheel drive, mid-rear-wheel drive, or rear-wheel drive configurations. The innovative quick-switch design lets you effortlessly swap between drive systems without the need for a full rebuild, simply by adjusting the final gear, steering linkage direction, and motor placement.

The BT-01 chassis is designed for both performance and ease of use. The symmetrical 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and friction dampers provide smooth and responsive handling, while the unitised sections simplify assembly and maintenance. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast or new to the hobby, the Tamiya BT-01 Chassis Kit offers a unique and exciting opportunity to explore different driving dynamics and create a truly personalised RC car.

This version of the BT-01 comes with a factory painted body shell that lets you focus on the build itself.

Adjustable Chassis Set Ups

Adjustable Mid Mount Motor

The BT-01's adjustable midship motor layout enhances balance and handling. Positioned on the rear left, the motor delivers power smoothly to the rear wheels through a reliable propeller shaft but can also be moved to the front right for a higher level of weight bias customisability.

Easy Battery Tray Access

The BT-01 allows for quick and easy battery swaps with the convenient flip-up holder. Simply flip the holder open to access the battery compartment, making battery changes as quick and easy as possible.

Easy Maintenance

Unitised sections (motor mount, suspension) streamline assembly and make adjustments or repairs quick and straightforward.

Easy Motor Access

Maintenance is made easy thanks to the BT-01's unitised motor mount. Secured with just two screws, it allows for quick and easy access to the motor for adjustments or upgrades.

Geared Differentials

Plastic 4-bevel differential gear ensures smooth power delivery and is compatible with performance-enhancing hop-ups like ball differentials.

High Spec Suspension Design

Double wishbone design on all four wheels with friction dampers provides a solid foundation, with upgrade potential to TRF Special Dampers available.

Race Equipment Ready

The BT-01 is competition-ready with a built-in transponder stay. This convenient feature provides a secure mounting point for your transponder, ensuring accurate timing and hassle-free racing.

Three Point Steering System

The BT-01 features a unique three-section steering system that delivers exceptional responsiveness and control. The servo is strategically positioned at the rear right, connected to the steering linkage via a long link rod for optimal efficiency.
