What Makes the Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter Stand Out

The Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter puts a twin-motor setup into a classic monster truck chassis, giving a balanced, responsive drive feel. It is aimed at builders who like to tune gearing and suspension for track or trail use.

Balanced Twin Motor Powertrain

The Dualhunter uses separate motors at the front and rear to drive all four wheels, which helps distribute torque and maintain traction during aggressive driving. The centrally positioned servo keeps steering input steady and predictable.

Durable Shell and Traction-Focused Tyres

Featuring a resilient polycarbonate body, the Dualhunter resists knocks and scrapes from off-road running. The 130mm spike tyres deliver solid bite on soft ground, while the double wishbone suspension and friction dampers smooth out rough runs.

Easy Servicing and Custom Parts

Both the front and rear gearboxes are removable for quick access, simplifying repairs and gear changes. Owners can fit aftermarket motors, change gearing, or add performance parts to suit personal preferences.

Included ESC and Required Add-Ons

The kit contains the TEU-103BK FET ESC tailored for twin Type 540 motors. To complete the truck you will need a 2-channel transmitter, battery, charger, and paint for the body shell.

Specifications

  • Drive System: Twin Motor 4WD
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • Tire Diameter: 130mm
  • Suspension: Double Wishbone
  • ESC: TEU-103BK FET

The Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter is a solid platform for hobbyists wanting a robust, upgradeable monster truck for club tracks and local off-road sessions.

Yes, with the correct motor mounts and ESC capable of handling brushless setups you can fit brushless motors, but you should verify pinion and spur compatibility.
For hardpack, paddle-style or smaller-knob tyres tuned for firm surfaces perform better than large spike tyres, so consider swapping for track days.
The front and rear gearboxes are designed to be removed independently, making access for bearings and gear checks relatively simple for routine maintenance.
Ride height can be tuned via suspension setup and shock spacer adjustments; swapping shock oil or upgrading dampers will also change handling characteristics.
You will need to paint the polycarbonate body for a finished look, though you can run the truck without full decoration if the paint is not ready.
