Tamiya 57755 Sand Viper ready for rough country running

The Tamiya 57755 Sand Viper arrives as a 1/10 scale Ready-to-Run buggy that blends straightforward performance with rugged styling. It is approachable for beginners but also gives experienced drivers a reliable platform for upgrades. The 2WD DT02 chassis delivers predictable handling on uneven terrain.

Smart layout and full-travel suspension

The bathtub frame positions the radio gear and battery centrally for improved mass distribution. This setup helps the buggy track straight and respond predictably to driver inputs. Full stroke, independent double wishbone suspension keeps the wheels working over rough ground.

Sleek polycarbonate shell with desert livery

The lightweight polycarbonate body is decorated to resemble a desert serpent and is finished to balance looks with impact resistance. The design reduces weight while retaining a striking appearance on the track.

Traction and drivetrain for off-road use

Wide grooved front tyres and spiked rear tyres provide a blend of bite and steering feel. The sealed differential gearbox shields internal gears from dirt ingress, and the Type 540 electric motor offers dependable drive for recreational racing and bashing.

As a ready-to-run platform, the Tamiya 57755 Sand Viper is a practical pick for regular off-road sessions, offering easy servicing and upgrade paths.

The stock Type 540 motor is fine for general use. For higher top speed or acceleration consider a higher-performance 540-class motor and a compatible ESC rated for the added current.
The grooved front and spiked rear tyre combination works well on packed dirt, loose gravel and sandy tracks. For tarmac, switch to slick or semi-slick tyres for better grip.
The TEU-101 ESC is not fully waterproof by default. Avoid deep puddles and consider waterproofing or sealed alternatives if you plan to run in wet conditions.
Regularly clean around the gearbox area, use compressed air to remove sand, and inspect seals. Installing foam breathers or additional shrouds can help reduce ingress.
Yes. With tyre and gearing changes and a tuned motor/ESC, the platform can be adapted for club-level off-road classes that accept RTR entries.
