Description
Overview
The Tamiya Nissan GT-R Drift Spec delivers aggressive modern supercar styling on a purpose-built 1/10 scale 4WD electric drift chassis. Built on the TT-02D Drift Spec platform, this kit is designed for controlled slides, stable handling, and smooth throttle response. The Nissan GT-R, unleashed on the world in December 2007, represents the pinnacle of Japanese supercar engineering, and now you can take this legend out for a drift.
The TT-02D Drift Spec chassis is optimized for drifting with a low center of gravity, tuned suspension geometry, and drift-specific components. Its shaft-driven 4WD system provides predictable power delivery and balanced handling, making it easy to initiate and maintain drifts on smooth surfaces. This premium kit includes full ball bearings, sport-tuned motor, and CVA oil shocks as standard equipment for exceptional out-of-box performance.
