Modern Astute 2022 with Ready-to-Fit Body

The Tamiya Astute 2022 is supplied with a pre-painted and pre-cut body, ideal for builders who want to concentrate on chassis setup and electronics fitment. This version combines the retro Astute look with practical improvements for everyday off-road use.

Low-Profile TD2 Chassis for Stable Cornering

Derived from the TD4 idea, the TD2 uses front inboard suspension to reduce frontal height and tidy handling dynamics. The 25-degree skid angle on the front arms helps the buggy move over rough sections more smoothly, while the CVA oil dampers ensure a controlled ride.

Balanced Drive from Midship Transverse Motor

The transverse midship motor operates through a compact three-gear system to keep mass centralized. The rear transverse battery layout further refines balance, and the single-piece FRP monocoque chassis gives the assembly the torsional strength needed for consistent driving.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 387mm
  • Width: 246mm
  • Wheelbase: 283mm
  • Body Material: Pre-painted Polycarbonate
  • Chassis Material: FRP Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic
  • Drive Type: 2WD
  • Suspension: Fully Independent Double Wishbone with CVA Oil Dampers

The Astute 2022 pairs traditional aesthetics with a dependable chassis, making it a satisfying project for builders who enjoy setup and handling adjustments.

Basic model building tools like screwdrivers, pliers, hobby knife, and thread-lock are sufficient. A set of hex drivers and some grease for gears will speed assembly and improve reliability.
You can upgrade or tune the CVA dampers with different oil weights or springs to alter handling. Aftermarket damper parts may also be available for finer adjustments.
This 2WD buggy is versatile on hardpack, dusty club tracks, and loamy circuits. Match tyre selection to the surface to get the best traction and steering response.
The pre-painted polycarbonate body is resilient for typical off-road abuse, but consider protective film or bumper upgrades if you run particularly rough courses.
