Tamiya 57748 XB Desert Gator Retro-Style 2WD Buggy  [57748]

Ready for Loose Trails with the XB Desert Gator

The Tamiya 57748 XB Desert Gator is supplied ready-to-run and tuned for varied off-road conditions, giving modelers a dependable platform for local track sessions or weekend bashing. The body and chassis layout provide predictable handling in rough sections.

Chassis Balance and Suspension Setup

Powered by a transverse Type RS540 motor, the 2WD underpinnings use independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers to smooth impacts and maintain traction. This configuration keeps the buggy composed across uneven ground.

Built to Handle Everyday Off-Road Use

The durable polycarbonate shell is pre-painted and marked for a race-ready look while resisting scuffs. The sealed differential gearbox helps prevent sand and dust ingress, and the combination of grooved front tyres and spiked rear tyres aids acceleration and cornering grip.

Plug In and Drive

Comes assembled with pre-applied stickers and includes the Expec SP R/C unit, wheel-type transmitter, and TEU-101 electronic speed controller so you can get running quickly. Batteries are sold separately so you can pick the chemistry you prefer.

For hobbyists wanting a straightforward, reliable off-road buggy, the XB Desert Gator offers a strong foundation for both casual running and modest upgrades.
