Tamiya 40172 GT-01 Wheels for Better Track Control

Designed to complement TamTech-Gear cars, the Tamiya 40172 GT-01 Front 5-Hole Wheels balance aesthetics with grip-focused function. They help stabilise the front axle and sharpen handling on paved surfaces.

GT-01 5-Hole Wheel Highlights

Design: Five apertures reduce weight while giving a purposeful racing look to your model.
Material: Engineered for durability so the wheels keep their shape session after session.
Compatibility: Optimised for GB-01 and GB-02 chassis to ensure correct fit and alignment.
Functionality: Offers improved tyre support and predictable steering under load.

Are these wheels a direct swap for stock fronts?

They fit as direct replacements on GB-01 and GB-02 front hubs in most builds, but double-check hex and axle dimensions to be sure.

What surface types suit these wheels best?

They perform best on hard-packed or paved tracks where the added front stability helps turn-in and corner control.

Can I paint these wheels for a custom look?

Yes, light coats of appropriate model paint work well. Mask the bead seat and avoid heavy layers that could affect tyre seating or balance.

Do they add much unsprung weight?

The five-hole pattern is intended to reduce mass compared with some solid designs, so any change to unsprung weight is usually modest and beneficial for handling.

How do I check for wheel runout or imbalance?

Mount the tyre and spin the wheel on the axle to watch for wobble. Use balancing putty inside the tyre or adjust tyre seating to correct minor runout.
