Tamiya 47482 - Astute 2022 TD2 1/10 Pre-Painted Off-Road Kit  [47482]

Astute 2022 - Classic Styling with Modern Underpinnings

For modelers who enjoy building but prefer to skip trimming and painting, the Tamiya Astute 2022 arrives ready with a pre-painted, pre-cut polycarbonate shell. This edition blends traditional Astute lines with practical upgrades, making it appealing to both newcomers and experienced builders who want to focus on setup and driving.

TD2 Chassis That Prioritizes Low Profile Handling

The TD2 chassis takes cues from the TD4 while using an inboard front suspension to keep the profile low and tidy. The front suspension arms use a 25-degree skid angle to help the buggy track over rough ground, and the CVA oil dampers contribute steady, predictable suspension response.

Transverse Mid-Motor Layout for Better Balance

The midship transverse motor sits on a three-gear drivetrain that helps centralize mass and improve traction. The battery mounts transversely toward the rear to fine-tune weight distribution, and the one-piece monocoque FRP frame adds rigidity for consistent handling in competition or club runs.

The Tamiya Astute 2022 pairs refined engineering with a heritage look, giving drivers a reliable platform that is both fun to build and rewarding to drive.
