Sand-Viper 58374 on DT-02 - Ready for Dirt and Tracks

The Tamiya Sand-Viper on the DT-02 chassis gives you a rugged 1/10 buggy that handles rough terrain with confidence. Its updated bodywork and back wing give the model a purposeful stance while keeping it easy to service between runs.

DT-02 Chassis Strengths Explained

The DT-02 is known for dependable durability and straightforward setup. This Sand-Viper mounts a transverse Type RS540 motor that delivers even torque, and the oil-damped 4-wheel double wishbone suspension smooths out bumps for reliable handling on uneven surfaces.

Mechanical Features for Long-Term Use

Full ball bearings reduce wear and increase drivetrain efficiency. Double-ended shafts in the upper suspension arms allow camber changes so you can dial in handling. The sealed differential gear gearbox keeps lubricants in and contaminants out to help the gearbox last.

Tyres, Wheels and Off-Road Grip

Wide grooved front tyres and spiked rear tyres give the Sand-Viper balanced traction and predictable steering on loose surfaces. The dish-style race wheels complete the look and work with the tyres to improve grip across a variety of off-road conditions.

The kit is configured for a Type 540 motor setup mounted transversely to suit the DT-02 layout and standard gear ratios provided.
Oil dampers help control weight transfer and absorb repeated bumps, which results in steadier steering and improved traction over rough sections.
Yes, full ball bearings are fitted in the design to lower friction and improve component life compared to plain bushings.
The tyre setup suits loose dirt, hard-packed tracks and light sand. Avoid very soft deep sand without tyre changes, but it performs well on typical off-road circuits.
