The Tamiya Sand-Viper built on the DT-02 chassis suits pilots who want a capable 1/10 buggy that is easy to tune. It pairs a fresh body design with a functional wing to give a purposeful look without sacrificing durability on rough surfaces.
The DT-02 is respected for being robust and user friendly. The Sand-Viper adopts a transverse Type RS540 motor layout for balanced power, while the 4-wheel double wishbone setup with oil dampers helps maintain composure over rutted tracks and beachside practice areas.
Ball bearings throughout reduce drivetrain drag and extend service intervals. The suspension upper arms with double-ended shafts let you alter camber easily to suit track conditions. A sealed differential gear gearbox shields gears from mud and grit for more consistent running.
The tyre package pairs grooved front tyres with spiked rear tyres to deliver predictable steering and drive. The race-style dish wheels are chosen to complement traction and visual style, making the buggy capable across grass, dirt and loose surfaces.
For modelers who enjoy hands-on setup and reliable off-road performance, the Tamiya Sand-Viper offers sensible parts and easy maintenance on a respected chassis.
