Getting to Know the Tamiya 57772 Plasma Edge XB

For those wanting a straightforward off-road RC, the Tamiya 57772 Plasma Edge XB is a solid pick. The 1/10 scale design on the DF-02 chassis offers a blend of toughness and easy servicing that suits weekend bashing and practice laps alike.

Sturdy DF-02 Chassis Details

The DF-02 platform is praised for its rugged layout and simple maintenance. It positions a Type 540 motor longitudinally inside a bathtub frame and uses a fully-sealed ball bearing gearbox fitted with four 1150 and four 1280 ball bearings to reduce wear and keep moving parts protected.

Suspension That Handles Rough Ground

Featuring a 4-wheel independent suspension with oil dampers, this buggy smooths out uneven surfaces and enhances traction. Drivers will notice improved cornering and predictable handling across mixed terrain.

Painted Shell and Plug-In Electronics

The package includes a lightweight, pre-painted polycarbonate body in silver and bright yellow wheels for visibility. It is ready-to-run with an ESC (TEU-101BK), Type 540 motor and a 2-channel Expec R/C system; only a 7.2V battery pack and charger are required to start.

Tamiya 57772 Plasma Edge XB is well suited to hobbyists who want a durable, low-fuss buggy that still provides scope for tuning as skills progress.
