Performance Rear Rims for TamTech-Gear by Tamiya 40173

The Tamiya 40173 GT-01 5-Hole Wheels are aimed at hobbyists who want a low-mass rear wheel option for TamTech-Gear cars. The five-hole configuration keeps weight down and gives a clean, purposeful look to the rear end.

Direct Fit for GB-01 and GB-02 Chassis

These rims are shaped to match GB-01 and GB-02 rear mounting points so you can swap wheels quickly between runs and maintain consistent handling characteristics.

Track-oriented advantages

Design: Five-hole layout reduces unsprung weight for crisper rear response.
Compatibility: Made to fit GB-01 and GB-02 TamTech-Gear rear hubs.
Performance: Aims to stabilise the rear during fast direction changes and exits.

Will these wheels work with foam tyres?

They can accept foam tyres if the tyre internal diameter matches the wheel seat; check fit and glue adhesion before racing.

Do they need inserts for on-road use?

Depending on tyre choice, foam or plastic inserts can help maintain tyre shape and improve lap consistency.

How do I maintain these wheels?

Keep the mounting surface clean, check for hairline cracks after impacts, and replace if deformation appears to preserve handling.
