Retro Looks, Practical Off-Road Chassis

The Tamiya 84212 Holiday Buggy (2010) red edition brings classic buggy styling together with practical updates that make it easier to run off-road. This 1/10 scale kit balances nostalgia and usability for weekend drivers.

DT-02 Chassis with Low Centre Layout

The DT-02 2WD chassis uses a longitudinal battery position to lower the centre of gravity, which helps high-speed stability. The enclosed gearbox keeps moving parts cleaner when you run across dusty or sandy surfaces.

Suspension Setup and Traction Profile

Equipped with independent suspension on all four corners and coil spring dampers, the buggy maintains control over uneven ground. The front ribbed tyres aid steering while the spiked rear tyres boost traction on loose dirt.

Engine Options and Styling Additions

A 380 motor is included for a balanced performance envelope, and enthusiasts can upgrade to a 540 motor for stronger acceleration. The semi-finished driver figure and sticker sheet let you add personal touches.

This Holiday Buggy Red Edition is a reliable platform for tuners and casual drivers alike. Its straightforward layout makes upgrades and maintenance familiar to most hobbyists.

What tools are needed to build the kit?

Basic modelling tools such as hobby knives, small screwdrivers, pliers and a hobby drill are enough to assemble the kit. Thread lock and grease are useful for longevity.

How do I change to a 540 motor?

You may need a different motor mount and possibly a longer pinion/spur gear combination. Ensure the ESC can handle the increased current draw of a 540 motor.

Is the body pre-painted?

The red body comes molded in colour with sticker markings, but you can add paint accents or clearcoat for additional protection and effect.

Will the TEU-104 ESC handle brushless setups?

The TEU-104 is a brushed ESC. For brushless motors you will need a compatible brushless ESC and matching wiring or connectors to suit the chassis space.

Which surfaces suit the ribbed and spiked tyre combo?

The ribbed front tyres are best for steering on packed dirt and grass, while the spiked rears provide traction on loose soil and gravel. They form a good all-round off-road set up.
