Tamiya 58502-60A Kit Summary

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.

Chassis Strength and Paint-Ready Shell

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.

Handling Features for Off-Road Conditions

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.

Maintenance-Friendly Enclosed Gearbox

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.

Scale Realism with Driver Figure

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.

Yes, you will need to source a radio, receiver, battery, ESC and motor separately as the kit does not include electronics.
The monocoque lower arms are designed for toughness, but like any plastic part they can be upgraded to stronger aftermarket pieces if you plan on heavy jumping.
A moderate pinion to spur ratio that balances acceleration and top speed is best for mixed surfaces; adjust after testing to suit your motor choice and battery voltage.
