The Tamiya 58502-60A blends classic buggy styling with practical engineering in a 1/10 kit. It is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy assembly and then testing set-up changes out on rough tracks.
At its centre sits an ABS bathtub chassis that balances lightness with strength for off-road use. A rear-mounted motor drives the rear wheels for straightforward power delivery. The white resin body is supplied unpainted so builders can personalise finishes using Tamiya TS paints, and fitted side mirror components help lift realism.
The vehicle uses four independent double wishbone arms to keep each wheel tracking independently, paired with C.V.A. oil-filled shock absorbers for stable damping. The monocoque lower arms are designed for durability. Front tyres use a three-rib tread for straight-line stability while the rear tyres add spikes and an X-shaped pattern for grip on loose surfaces.
A fully enclosed gearbox helps prevent dirt from accelerating wear, which makes the model easier to maintain for frequent off-road use.
A driver figure is included to enhance the scale appearance and bring the Blitzer Beetle to life when on the trail.
Tamiya 58502-60A offers a blend of durability and customisation for those who enjoy setting up and tuning a classic style buggy.
