Tackle Rough Tracks with the Tamiya XB Desert Gator

The Tamiya 57748 XB Desert Gator brings practical off-road capability to hobbyists with a ready-to-run package built for dependable trail and track use. Its balanced layout makes it approachable for experienced drivers and newcomers moving into buggies.

Precision Chassis and Suspension

The compact 2WD chassis uses a transverse Type RS540 motor and features 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with oil dampers for consistent control. This setup helps maintain traction and stability over bumps and loose surfaces.

Durable Construction for Everyday Running

The painted polycarbonate body offers impact resistance while maintaining a clean race look. A sealed differential gearbox blocks grit and prolongs drivetrain life, and the tyre combination with grooved front and spiked rear tyres boosts grip across mixed surfaces.

Out of the Box Ready

This model ships fully assembled with pre-applied decals and includes the Expec SP R/C unit, a wheel-type transmitter, and the TEU-101 electronic speed controller so you can get on track quickly. Batteries are not included so you can choose the battery type you prefer.

The Tamiya XB Desert Gator is a solid pick for drivers seeking a robust, user-friendly buggy that balances durability and performance for regular off-road use.

A 7.2V NiMH pack or a compatible 2S LiPo with the correct connector and a matching charger are commonly used; check ESC specifications and battery tray size before buying.
The sealed differential reduces cleaning, but regular inspection of gears and lubrication will keep things smooth after muddy or sandy runs.
Yes, swapping to softer compound or alternative tread patterns is a common way to tune traction for loose dirt, hardpack, or grass surfaces.
The layout allows for standard-size ESCs and servos to be fitted, so swapping the motor or ESC for higher performance parts is straightforward for hobbyists.
