Tamiya 58416 Rising Fighter Retro-Inspired 1/10 Buggy Kit  [58416]

Rising Fighter 58416 by Tamiya - Retro Looks, Modern Usability

This Tamiya model brings back the classic fighter-series silhouette while offering straightforward engineering that keeps maintenance simple. The 58416 is designed for hobbyists who enjoy both building and driving.

Designed to endure outdoor running

The Rising Fighter's semi-monocoque body sits on a robust chassis that copes well with rough ground. Measuring 418mm in length, 236mm in width and 187mm in height, the vehicle features a sealed gearbox to minimise grit and an independent front swing axle plus rolling rigid rear suspension with large friction dampers for reliable impact control.

Balanced drivetrain and tyres

Equipped with a 540 motor, the platform delivers manageable speed and torque. Front grooved tyres and rear spikes combine to give good bite on loose surfaces. A 7.2V battery is required separately, and you will need a 2-channel radio system and charger to finish the setup.

From first build to upgraded racer

Newcomers will find the kit approachable, while experienced pilots can focus on suspension tuning and tyre choices to extract better lap times or handling for different surfaces.

Tamiya's Rising Fighter 58416 is a practical, fun-to-drive buggy that serves well as an introductory project and a platform for modest upgrades.
