Heritage Buggy with Practical Upgrades for Weekend Runs

The Tamiya 58336-60A revives a well known 1/10 scale 2WD buggy layout with clear attention to usability. It keeps the vintage look while offering components that are simple to maintain and tune at home.

Balanced Chassis for Easy Control

The bathtub style ABS chassis delivers a sturdy platform while the sealed gearbox helps keep grit out. Oil-filled dampers at the rear smooth impacts and the RS 540 brushed motor supplies predictable torque that is easy to manage.

Tuning Pointers for Better Handling

Experiment with damper oil weight and spring rates to match your local surface. Installing ball bearings is a low cost improvement that reduces friction and improves acceleration. Routine inspection of plastic mounts and screws will prevent common issues.

Ideal for Club Drivers and Restorers

Whether restored for display or kept as a reliable runner, this kit appeals to enthusiasts who like to work on their models. Its classic profile and approachable mechanics make it a satisfying project.
