Roots of the Rising Fighter line

The Tamiya 57781 - 1/10 XB Rising Fighter draws on the brand's off-road heritage, echoing the simple, fun character of models like The Hornet and The Grasshopper. As an RTR model it aims to get you on the track quickly while still offering authentic Tamiya handling. Its 2WD drivetrain and included 540 motor make it suited to a wide range of terrain.

Chassis and suspension breakdown

Front independent swing axles and a rolling rigid rear work with large friction dampers to soak up bumps and keep the buggy stable. The semi-monocoque bathtub chassis secures the resin body and boosts rigidity for spirited runs.

What comes in the box and running basics

This version includes an ESC and the Expec 2-channel R/C system for basic control straight away. Fitting the car requires eight R6/AA/UM3 batteries for the transmitter and a 7.2V pack for the vehicle. A sealed gearbox protects internal gears from grit and dust during regular use.

The Tamiya 57781 - 1/10 XB Rising Fighter is a dependable RTR buggy that appeals to hobbyists who want an easy starting point and scope for upgrades. It is well matched to club tracks and local off-road spots.
