Description
Overview
The Tamiya TT-01 Bathtub Chassis is the main structural frame that forms the foundation of the legendary TT-01 platform. This "bathtub" style tub chassis provides a low center of gravity by housing the battery and drivetrain components in a recessed compartment, resulting in excellent handling characteristics.
The TT-01 chassis design features a longitudinally placed motor with shaft-driven 4WD transmission. The bathtub frame allows the drive train and battery to sit flat, creating a perfectly balanced chassis that has made the TT-01 one of Tamiya's most popular and enduring platforms since its 2003 release.
