Gravel Hound Built for Trail Runs

The Tamiya 57723 Gravel Hound is a 1/10 scale buggy designed to handle mixed surfaces with minimal fuss. Using the dependable DT-02 chassis, this model balances toughness and accessible mechanics so you can spend more time out on the track.

How the DT-02 Helps Off-Road Performance

The DT-02 chassis provides a shaft-driven 4WD layout that spreads drive across all wheels for consistent traction on loose tracks. Large pinspike tyres and simple friction dampers deliver grip and compliance over rutted sections and gravel.

Driver Feel and Electronics Layout

Control is user-friendly thanks to the packaged digital proportional transmitter and matched electronics. The Type-540 motor teamed with the TEU-101BK ESC supplies steady power, making throttle modulation and steering inputs predictable for learning drivers.

If you want a no-nonsense buggy for local tracks and rough paths, the Tamiya 57723 Gravel Hound delivers straightforward reliability and easy serviceability for hobby sessions.

The chassis and tyre combo are well suited to a mix of grass and compact dirt, offering decent traction and predictable handling.
Yes, you can upgrade to a brushless setup, but verify space, gearing and ESC compatibility before swapping components.
Regular checks of the drivetrain, cleaning of bearings, and inspection of suspension parts will keep the buggy running reliably.
Moving to softer compound tyres or different tread patterns can improve bite on loose gravel and softer ground.
