The Tamiya 58502-60A is a 1/10 scale electric buggy kit that blends robust engineering with do-it-yourself customisation. It is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy building, painting and testing their setups on rough terrain.
Built around an ABS bathtub chassis, the kit keeps overall mass down while delivering rigidity for off-road use. A rear-mounted motor combined with rear-wheel drive provides a simple, effective layout. The white resin body arrives unpainted so builders can use Tamiya TS sprays to create their own livery, and scale mirror parts are included for extra detail.
Four independent double wishbone suspension arms work with C.V.A. oil-filled shocks to tame bumps and jumps. Monocoque lower arms add strength where it counts. The front tyres use a three-rib tread to aid straight-line tracking, while the rear tyres mix spikes and an X-pattern to bite into loose surfaces.
The fully enclosed gearbox design helps keep debris away from gears and bearings, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and repairs after off-road sessions.
Included driver figure improves the scale appearance and helps the model look more complete when displayed or raced.
For those who like a hands-on kit with solid mechanical basics, the Tamiya 58502-60A delivers a reliable platform for off-road tuning and creative paint work.
