Tamiya 57981 TT01 Type ES chassis breakdown

The Tamiya 57981 TT01 Type ES comes prepped as a semi-assembled platform so you can focus on setup and styling. Core components are in place, making it simple to add a body shell, battery and electronics to complete the car.

Design that helps with cornering

With a bathtub chassis that places heavy parts near the floor, the TT01 Type ES gains a lower centre of gravity for improved cornering. Fiberglass nylon reinforcement adds stiffness to the upper deck and gear housings for consistent handling.

Swap shells to change character

The chassis accepts a variety of Tamiya Body Parts Sets, letting you choose from retro and modern shells. That flexibility makes it straightforward to adapt the car for different looks or handling traits.

Control and suspension notes

A three piece tie-rod gives dependable steering geometry while the double wishbone suspension and front/rear diffs deliver even weight transfer and traction across varied surfaces.

For builders who want a straightforward platform to personalise, the Tamiya 57981 TT01 Type ES delivers a solid mix of durability and upgrade potential.

Use medium compound touring tyres for good grip and predictable wear. Match tyre width to the listed dimensions for correct fitment and handling balance.
The included Type 540 motor is suitable for casual use and initial testing. Serious racers often upgrade to a higher performance 540 or brushless setup to increase speed and efficiency.
Try increasing front toe-in slightly, soften rear roll stiffness or use a grippier front tyre to reduce oversteer. Small incremental changes and test laps help find the right balance.
