Easy Entry Into Off-Road Bashing

The Tamiya Fighter NXGEN 58741 offers an accessible introduction to off-road RC, pairing race-inspired looks with assembly that does not intimidate newcomers. Influenced by single-seater racing buggies from the USA, this NXGEN model is the latest step in making the Fighter Buggy line more usable for those learning the hobby.

What the DT-04 Chassis Brings

The DT-04 chassis gives a rear-wheel-drive character that is lively yet manageable, and it reuses key pieces from DT-02 and DT-03 models. That compatibility opens up a wide range of option parts for tuning and straightforward maintenance when you want to upgrade.

Practical, Ready-to-Run Body Panels

Body panels are injection-moulded in white polycarbonate for resilience and a clean finish. Since the body is purpose-made and supplied with decals, you can skip custom painting and assemble quickly to start learning vehicle setup and driving lines.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 385mm (265mm wheelbase) / 395mm (280mm wheelbase)
  • Height: 120mm
  • Width: 248mm
  • Drive: 2WD rear-wheel drive
  • Motor: 540-size Tamiya Torque Tuned brushed motor
  • ESC: Hobbywing produced ESC

Setup Choices for Different Surfaces

Choose between a 265mm wheelbase for sharper cornering or 280mm for added straight-line stability. The independent double wishbone suspension with CVA oil bypass dampers helps maintain traction over uneven ground while the front ribbed tyres and rear square spike tyres give solid bite off-road.

Tamiya Fighter NXGEN 58741 is a smart pick for someone starting in RC who wants a practical kit with upgrade potential. It balances simple construction with realistic tuning options for longer term enjoyment.

Yes, the DT-04 platform accepts many option parts from DT-02 and DT-03, making it straightforward to add upgraded components as you learn setup work.
The 540-size Tamiya Torque Tuned brushed motor is adequate for casual club running and practice, though racers may want to consider future motor or ESC upgrades for higher performance.
Use the 265mm setting for tighter, more responsive handling on twisty tracks and the 280mm setting for extra stability on faster, flowing circuits.
