Hobbyists who appreciate race provenance will recognise the Tamiya 58324 - 1/10 RC Volkswagen Touareg Dakar Rally Kit as a faithful scale re-creation. The kit celebrates the 2004 Touareg's strong showing in tough rally conditions while keeping build and setup flexibility front of mind.
The Dakar tests ventilation, cooling and robustness, and the 2004 Touareg featured large air ducts and cockpit airflow aids. Those functional touches are modelled in scale to give the kit a purposeful, race-ready appearance.
Mounted on the CC-01 ladder frame bathtub chassis, the Touareg replica blends scale looks with tough mechanical layout. A front-mounted motor drives the 4WD system, with a universal joint prop shaft transferring torque to the rear axle for steady off-road performance.
Oil shocks and a practical suspension layout - double wishbones up front and a 4-link rigid arrangement at the rear - deliver consistent damping. The diff setup and the ability to fit a rear diff lock let you tailor traction for loose sand, gravel or mixed terrain.
The Tamiya 58324 Volkswagen Touareg is a solid pick for those who want authentic rally styling on a proven chassis, with room to upgrade electronics and suspension for more demanding terrain.
