The Tamiya 58380 Keen Hawk brings a race-minded 1/10 4WD experience using the DF-03 chassis, delivering a mix of robustness and responsive handling. The monocoque construction helps keep the chassis rigid when negotiating rough terrain.
The DF-03's structural layout resists twist and maintains balance under load. A centrally placed prop shaft lowers polar moment, improving cornering stability, while the double-wishbone suspension allows for precise camber and toe adjustments to suit different track types.
Equipped with big dish wheels and dense spike tyres, the Keen Hawk has good bite on loose surfaces. Sealed front and rear gearboxes protect the ball differentials, and the full complement of ball bearings reduces drivetrain drag. CVA oil dampers and extended suspension arms further refine handling and control.
The kit comes with a type 540 motor, so you only need an ESC, receiver and servos to get running. Because the electronics are chosen by the builder, you can tailor performance to suit racing ambitions or casual bashing.
With its rugged DF-03 base and adjustable parts, the Tamiya 58380 Keen Hawk is a solid choice for tuners who want a dependable off-road platform.
