Stadium Thunder Returns: Tamiya 58524 Classic Kit

The Tamiya 58524 Stadium Thunder revives the iconic 1996 truggy profile on a chassis shared with the Blitzer Beetle and Stadium Blitzer. The kit balances nostalgia with practical assembly, letting hobbyists rebuild a classic using current production standards.

Hands-On Build and Track Ready

This 1/10 scale model is aimed at builders who like a hands-on assembly. The clear polycarbonate body bears the period livery, while the rear-wheel-drive layout and ABS bathtub chassis provide a predictable and robust driving base for mixed-surface outings.

Chassis Dynamics and Tyre Choice

Equipped with four-wheel double wishbone arms and Tamiya C.V.A. shock units, this truggy soaks up bumps and keeps the tyres in contact with the ground. The sealed gearbox guards internal parts from dust, and the gear differential ensures steady torque transfer. Front tyres use three ribs for directional control and the rear design blends spikes with an X tread for traction.

Electric Setup Guidance

The kit is designed around a 540-J brushed motor, delivering steady, easy-to-manage power. An ESC is not supplied, which allows pilots to fit an electronic speed controller that matches their preferred battery type and driving style.
