Retro Off-Roader Built for Club Days and Workshops

The Tamiya 58336-60A brings back a classic 1/10 2WD buggy design with upgrades that suit hobbyists who like to tinker. Its straightforward assembly and durable parts make it appealing for hands-on builders and weekend racers.

Reliable Performance for Varied Conditions

This model handles a range of surfaces thanks to a tough ABS resin bathtub chassis and a sealed gearbox that protects internal parts. Oil-filled rear dampers smooth out rough sections while the RS 540 brushed motor provides familiar, tunable power.

Setups and Small Upgrades to Try

For a better fit to local terrain, try swapping damper oils and adjusting spring preload. Adding ball bearings and checking gear mesh will sharpen response and reduce drivetrain drag. Small, incremental changes often give the best results.

Great as a Restomod or Regular Runner

Whether restored for display or prepared for track nights, the platform is easy to personalise. The period silhouette makes it a standout at meets, while the modular layout keeps maintenance user friendly.
