Conquer Rough Tracks with the Baja Champ

The Tamiya 58221 Baja Champ is a capable 1/10 scale buggy built for off-road use, blending robust engineering with approachable handling. Mounted on the TL-01B chassis, its long suspension arms and driven shafts help keep the car grounded across jumps and rutted tracks.

Durable TL-01B Chassis for Active Running

The TL-01B chassis is valued for its durable design and ease of maintenance. Its integrated monocoque frame with friction dampers reduces harsh feedback from rough runs, while the reinforced bumper and modified wing stay offer practical protection during impacts.

Practical Performance and Component Layout

The polycarbonate body balances resilience and low mass, aiding agility during quick direction changes. Four independent double wishbone suspension ensures each wheel follows the terrain independently, maximising traction. With the included 540 Type Motor, the Baja Champ gives reliable propulsion for recreational and club use.

The Tamiya 58221 Baja Champ is a practical, serviceable choice for off-road hobbyists who want a straightforward platform with upgrade potential.

What tools do I need to build this kit?

Common modelling tools such as small screwdrivers, pliers, nippers and thread-lock will cover most assembly steps; a hobby knife helps with trimming parts.

Is spare parts support available?

Tamiya replacement parts are widely available for common wear items like arms, driveshafts and bumpers, making repairs straightforward.

How easy is it to tune the suspension?

Ride height and camber can be adjusted by changing shock preload and arm positions; small changes yield noticeable differences in handling.

Can I fit brushless motors to this kit?

Yes, you can upgrade to a brushless setup but you should select a compatible ESC and confirm battery fit and gearing to match the motor's characteristics.

Are body paints required before assembly?

The white polycarbonate body can be trimmed and painted prior to final assembly; many builders prefer to paint panels off the chassis for a cleaner finish.
