SHIBATA's GRK team takes a tandem day to RC PROSHOP T2 in Okayama
The R31HOUSE RC blog writes up a Sunday shop visit with Kansai GRK TEAM members, where setup advice and the judging came from the makers themselves.
Who they are
A chassis brand that travels with its own team
SHIBATA posts under the R31HOUSE RC blog, and this write-up is signed GRK⚡RACING TEAM 総監督221. GRK is the drift RC chassis brand of Shibata Jidosha Co., Ltd. of Sakahogi, Gifu, which built a fine-asphalt RC drift circuit beside its car business in 2010 and released the first GRK in May 2012. The range runs from the AWD GRK GLOBAL and GLOBAL STANDARD kits through the switchable GLOBAL2 and GS2 to the RWD GRK4, GRK5, GRK5-R, GS2 EVO and GS2 Modified, plus the short-wheelbase GRK-M, which the maker lists as M-size with a 225 mm wheelbase.
The brand's parts side shows up in the same feed. A price revision notice covers restocked items including the (R31W271) gear diff set and the (R31W355) gear diff gasket, with prices revised from October 2026 and raw material, logistics and energy costs given as the reason. The notice states no figures, so none are quoted here. A separate post says prototype parts have arrived without saying what they are.
The Okayama visit
Setup advice on the same day as the judging
The second part of the Kansai-to-Okayama write-up describes a Sunday at RC PROSHOP T2 in Okayama Prefecture with Kansai GRK TEAM members and Yokota, who travelled from Chukyo. The day ran a janken contest, a tandem (追走) event and setup advice, with TakaC and Yokota handling user support. The tandem event was MC'd and judged by SHIBATA together with the T2 shop manager. The post thanks the T2 shop manager, Maebara and everyone who took part; it does not give results or say how the runs were scored.
This is not the first time the team has been at that shop — an earlier post is titled 第2回 SHIBATA⚡GRK TEAM in T2, and part one of this trip covers the rest of the journey. The same blog is also where entries for the 2026 GRK最強決定戦 national event were announced as opening.
