Tamiya 57865 Sand Rover DT-02 RTR 1/10 Dune Buggy  [57865]

Sand Rover Revival for Beach and Backcountry

The Tamiya 57865 Sand Rover revives classic beach buggy character while remaining straightforward to run. Based on the DT-02 platform, this RTR model is geared toward pilots who like old-school aesthetics paired with easy upkeep. The 2WD drive and independent double wishbone setup keep behaviour predictable across sand, grass and light trail sections.

Retro Looks with Modern Control

The styling nods to vintage buggies but the electronics are up to date. The pre-fitted 2-channel radio works on 2.4GHz to reduce interference when running with other cars, so you get consistent steering and throttle response in group sessions.

Chassis and Handling Details

The DT-02 is known for solid construction and simple servicing, which suits regular running and casual upgrades. With a gear-driven 2WD system and friction dampers the Sand Rover maintains traction and composure. The ABS body is resilient, and the painted driver figure enhances the classic presentation.

As a straightforward RTR option, the Sand Rover fits hobbyists who want a classic model that is simple to run and maintain. It is also a useful base for modest performance or cosmetic upgrades.
