Introducing the Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter Kit

The Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter brings dual Type 540 motors to a classic monster truck platform for balanced drive and plenty of pull. This kit appeals to hobbyists who enjoy setup changes and testing different gear ratios on varied surfaces.

Dual Motor Drive and Handling

The front and rear motors power a true 4WD layout that spreads torque across the chassis. This layout improves traction in low-grip spots, while the central servo helps maintain accurate steering through rough sections.

Constructed for Rough Use

The polycarbonate body absorbs impacts and keeps weight low, while big wheels with 130mm spike tyres deliver traction on mud and turf. The double wishbone suspension combined with friction dampers helps keep the truck composed over rocks and roots.

Service Options and Custom Fit

With removable front and rear gearboxes, routine servicing and swapping components is simple. Enthusiasts can install different motor combinations, change gear ratios, or upgrade bearings and shocks to suit local conditions.

Included Electronics and To-Do Items

Included in the kit is the TEU-103BK FET ESC configured for twin Type 540 motors. Builders will still need to add a 2-channel transmitter, battery, charger, and paint to complete the model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive System: Twin Motor 4WD
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • Tire Diameter: 130mm
  • Suspension: Double Wishbone
  • ESC: TEU-103BK FET

Built for tuners and casual off-road runs, the Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter blends durable construction with upgrade potential for hobbyists wanting to tweak performance.

Assembly is straightforward for someone with basic RC experience. Follow the manual closely and dry-fit parts before final assembly to avoid mistakes.
Common upgrades include stronger shock absorbers, higher-grip tyres for specific surfaces, and improved bearings to reduce drivetrain losses.
Basic modelling tools, screwdrivers, pliers, and thread lock for metal screws are usually sufficient. A soldering iron may be needed for ESC and battery connector work.
