The Astute 2022 updates Tamiya's off-road line with the TD2 chassis, offering a platform focused on balance and adjustability. This kit is suited to hobbyists who want a car that reacts well to tuning and track changes.
The TD2 features a front inboard suspension that keeps the profile low and improves airflow under the body. The front arms employ a 25 degree skid angle to maintain contact on uneven ground, while CVA oil dampers provide controlled compression and rebound.
A monocoque frame provides rigidity and pairs with a ball differential design to smooth power transfer. The rear transverse battery location combined with a mid-mounted motor helps centralise mass, and the three-gear transmission offers efficient power delivery to the wheels.
Polycarbonate body panels keep weight down and the star dish wheels add rim strength. Adjustable wing stays give quick options to change rear downforce, letting you tune the car for high-speed straights or tighter twisty tracks.
The Astute 2022 is an assembly kit that teaches setup basics while delivering competitive handling when dialled in, making it attractive to both newcomers and experienced builders.
Tamiya Astute 2022 combines a user friendly build with a tunable TD2 chassis, offering reliable performance across a variety of off-road layouts.
