Vajra 58497: Agile 1/10 4WD Race Truck

The Tamiya 58497 Vajra delivers a compact 1/10 off-road experience with an extended wheelbase that helps keep the truck composed at speed. It is built to handle varied off-road lines while remaining approachable for hobby builders.

Lightweight Carbon Layout

Central to the design is a 2.0mm carbon fibre double-deck chassis that balances stiffness with lightness. The 275mm wheelbase gives improved longitudinal balance and the adoption of plastic suspension arms increases impact resilience without adding excess weight.

Fine-Tuned Suspension Setup

The suspension uses a 4-wheel double wishbone arrangement with aluminium front knuckles and resin arms to keep geometry consistent. Oil-filled CVA shocks combined with 3.5mm carbon damper stays absorb impacts and smooth out rough sections of trail.

Wheels, Tyres and Motor Notes

Equipped with V-pattern block tyres and chrome 5-spoke wheels, the Vajra focuses on traction across loose surfaces. Its universal drive shafts and aluminium wheel hex hubs pair with the included GT-Tuned Motor (25T) for dependable acceleration.

The Tamiya 58497 Vajra is a balanced platform for off-road tuning and track work, offering a solid base for performance upgrades and setup changes.
