The Astute 2022 brings Tamiya engineering into a compact TD2 chassis, giving hobbyists a responsive and adjustable 1/10 off-road package. The kit suits drivers who want a nimble car that responds well to setup changes.
The TD2's signature feature is its front inboard suspension, which produces a slim frontal silhouette and helps lower the centre of gravity. The 25 degree skid angle on the front arms keeps the tyres tracking over rough sections, and CVA oil dampers deliver smooth travel for consistent traction.
A monocoque frame gives the TD2 structural rigidity while a ball differential, similar to the TD4 unit, improves power delivery to the wheels. With the battery mounted transversely at the rear and the motor placed midship, the car achieves a neutral balance and predictable rotation.
Lightweight polycarbonate bodywork and star dish wheels improve handling response and tyre support. The adjustable wing stays offer simple changes to rear downforce so you can dial the car to suit loose or hardpack surfaces.
As an assembly kit, the Astute 2022 is ideal for those learning race car mechanics and for veterans wanting a platform that accepts tuning and upgrades without complexity.
The Tamiya Astute 2022 combines practical tuning options and a stiff TD2 chassis, making it a dependable choice for club-level off-road racing.
