Hit the Dirt with the XB Desert Gator

The Tamiya 57748 XB Desert Gator delivers a reliable off-road platform straight from the box, offering a good balance of toughness and approachable handling for regular bashing sessions. It suits both casual drivers and those building driving skills.

Sturdy Platform and Suspension Tuning

Equipped with a transverse Type RS540 motor, the 2WD chassis uses 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and oil dampers to absorb impacts and keep the tyres planted. This layout helps when carrying speed over rough ground.

Hard-Wearing Body and Drive Protection

The pre-finished polycarbonate body resists scuffs and keeps the buggy looking sharp, while the sealed differential gearbox reduces dirt intrusion for longer service intervals. The tyre pairing of grooved fronts and spiked rears gives strong traction off the line.

Complete Electronics Pack Included

Supplied fully assembled with pre-applied decals, the model includes an Expec SP R/C unit, wheel transmitter and TEU-101 ESC so you can start running after fitting batteries. Batteries are not supplied so you can pick the best option for your driving style.

With its combination of durability and ready-to-run convenience, the XB Desert Gator is a practical choice for enthusiasts who like to spend time out on varied terrain.

The tyre setup and sealed gearbox make it capable on loose dirt and light sand, though very deep sand may require specialised tyres and more frequent cleaning.
Yes, with the correct motor mount, pinion and a compatible ESC, a brushless conversion is a common upgrade for improved top end and efficiency.
Replacement body parts, suspension components and common wear items are widely available for Tamiya buggies, making repairs simple.
Adjusting shock oil weight, tyre choice and ride height are effective first steps for tuning handling to different surfaces.
