Tamiya 58324 - 1/10 RC Volkswagen Touareg Dakar Rally Kit Collector Edition  [58324]

Scale Tribute to the Dakar Touareg by Tamiya

Model fans looking for authenticity will enjoy the Tamiya 58324 - 1/10 RC Volkswagen Touareg Dakar Rally Kit, which mirrors the 2004 Touareg that tackled extreme desert stages. The kit balances accurate race details with a chassis built to handle varied terrain.

Background from the Real Rally Car

The Dakar is one of the most demanding events in motorsport, rewarding resilience and clever engineering. The 2004 Touareg stood out with features like enlarged air intakes and cockpit ventilation, and those race-proven elements are reflected in the scale body and vents on this model.

CC-01 Chassis Features

This Touareg sits on Tamiya's robust CC-01 platform, featuring a ladder frame style bathtub chassis for scale appearance and strength. The front-mounted motor drives a 4WD drivetrain and a universal joint prop shaft that transmits power to the rear axle for reliable traction.

Handling and Setup Options

Oil dampers and a tuned suspension arrangement - double wishbone at the front, 4-link rigid at the rear - give the model composure over rough ground. Differential gearing and a selectable rear diff lock allow fine tuning for beach runs, tracks or mixed-surface outings.

The Tamiya 58324 Volkswagen Touareg is well suited to modellers who enjoy authentic race replicas and want a platform that can be tweaked for different surfaces and driving styles.
