If you enjoy trail running and club track sessions, the Tamiya Gravel Hound is built to be reliable and forgiving. This 1/10 scale buggy uses the DF-02 platform to offer a practical balance of durability and on-track composure.
The motor is mounted lengthwise for a lower centre of gravity and more predictable handling. Combined with the shaft-driven 4WD, the setup helps the buggy pull through loose turns and varied surfaces with consistent traction.
Oil-filled dampers at each corner smooth out rough patches and jumps, while independent front and rear suspension keeps the tyres in contact with the ground. Simple turnbuckle adjustments let you fine-tune toe and steering feel for different tracks.
The polycarbonate shell is shaped to resist impacts and provide decent aerodynamic flow. It is sturdy enough for regular off-road use yet light enough to preserve nimble handling.
For hobbyists who value a straightforward, serviceable buggy, the Gravel Hound DF-02 is a dependable pick that handles everyday off-road use without fuss.
