FAQs
Is the body pre-painted?
No, this is a clear, unpainted polycarbonate body set that requires painting.
Will this fit a TT-02 Type-S chassis?
Yes, provided the chassis is set to the 257mm standard wheelbase.
Does this set include mirrors and spoilers?
The set typically includes the main body shell; please check your specific kit contents for secondary plastic parts like mirrors or wings.
Do I need special paint?
Yes, you must use Tamiya PS (Polycarbonate) spray paints for the best adhesion and flexibility.
Can I use this on a drift chassis?
If your drift chassis uses a 257mm wheelbase and standard touring car body mounts, it will fit perfectly.
Troubleshooting
Body shell appears warped during painting
Ensure you are using polycarbonate-specific (PS) spray paints. Standard plastic paints can damage the material.
Body posts do not align with chassis
Double-check your chassis wheelbase measurement. This body only fits 257mm setups; if using a TT-02, ensure the suspension arms are configured for the standard wheelbase.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality, durable polycarbonate construction
- Excellent fitment for Tamiya TT-01 and TT-02 chassis
- Faithful recreation of the actual Honda/Acura NSX vehicle
- Ideal for custom paint jobs and personalization
Cons
- Requires trimming and painting by the user

- Not compatible with short wheelbase (251mm) chassis models
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the body, first wash the interior with mild detergent to remove manufacturing oils. Use sharp polycarbonate scissors to trim along the marked lines. For painting, apply your chosen color to the *inside* of the clear shell to protect the finish from scratches during operation.
Compatibility Checklist:
- Wheelbase: Must be 257mm
- Chassis: Tamiya TT-01, TT-02, or equivalent 1/10 touring platforms
- Mounting: Ensure body post holes are marked using the provided or standard drill tools.
Care involves wiping the exterior with a microfiber cloth and avoiding prolonged exposure to extreme direct sunlight, which can cause the polycarbonate to become brittle over long periods.
