Sand Rover: Classic Beach Buggy Reborn

The Tamiya 57865 Sand Rover captures the charm of vintage buggies while staying practical for regular running. Built on the DT-02 chassis, this ready-to-run model is aimed at pilots who appreciate simple, robust layouts. Its 2WD drivetrain and independent double wishbone suspension make for stable, predictable handling across loose surfaces.

Vintage Style with Practical Electronics

While the Sand Rover keeps retro body lines, it includes modern radio gear to improve usability. The fitted 2-channel 2.4GHz system reduces signal clashes during group runs, offering reliable steering and throttle control in mixed environments.

Durability Meets Easy Maintenance

The DT-02 chassis is valued for straightforward upkeep and dependable performance. The gear-driven 2WD system combined with friction dampers gives steady traction and simple shock action. The ABS body stands up to everyday knocks and the painted driver adds an authentic touch.

The Sand Rover is a practical choice for hobbyists wanting a classic look without complex setup. Its chassis and drivetrain are well suited to casual running and light modification.

Is this model good for park running?

Yes. The Sand Rover handles grass and compact dirt well thanks to its 2WD setup and double wishbone suspension, making it a solid weekend park runner.

What maintenance should I expect?

Regular checks of drive gears, wheel hubs and suspension mounts are recommended. Clean debris from the chassis after sandy or muddy runs to prolong component life.

Can I run this on soft sand?

It will run on soft sand but performance depends on tyre choice and powertrain. Consider rear tyres with larger pins or switching to lower gearing for better tractability.

Is the TEU-105BK ESC adjustable?

The included TEU-105BK is a basic ESC suitable for the brushed motor setup. For advanced tuning or brushless conversions, choose a programmable ESC that matches your motor choice.

What tyres work best for loose surfaces?

For loose terrain, pin spike rear tyres and grooved fronts give a good balance of drive and steering. Aftermarket sand tyres can further improve traction in deep or very soft sand.
