The Tamiya 58497 Vajra is a robust 1/10 4WD racing truck that handles rough runs and tight turns with a longer wheelbase that improves straight line stability. It is a practical kit for hobbyists who like to tweak setups.
At the core is a 2.0mm carbon fibre double-deck chassis that resists flex while keeping weight low. The 275mm wheelbase spreads load for steadier handling, while plastic suspension arms provide impact resistance derived from the Vanquish design.
The Vajra uses a double wishbone suspension on all four corners with aluminium front knuckles and resin arms to maintain consistent geometry. Oil-filled CVA shocks and 3.5mm carbon damper stays help control rebound and compression over jumps and ruts.
V-pattern block tyres on chrome 5-spoke wheels deliver predictable traction on loose terrain. Universal drive shafts and aluminium wheel hex hubs work together with the included GT-Tuned Motor (25T) to give steady power delivery on demand.
The Tamiya 58497 Vajra is a dependable, tuneable platform that suits bashing and club-level racing where durability and straightforward setup matter.
