Classic Sand Rover Rebuilt for Modern Trails

The Tamiya 57865 Sand Rover brings a familiar silhouette back to life with practical upgrades for everyday off-road use. Built on the DT-02 chassis, this ready-to-run buggy blends nostalgic styling with straightforward mechanics for drivers who want fun without fuss. The 2WD drivetrain and independent double wishbone suspension deliver predictable handling across mixed terrain, making it suitable for new pilots and experienced hobbyists alike.

Heritage Styling with Practical Upgrades

The Sand Rover keeps its vintage beach buggy lines while adding contemporary features that improve usability. The pre-mounted 2-channel radio operates on 2.4GHz to cut down on interference, so you get clean control when running near other models. That simplicity helps you focus on driving rather than troubleshooting signals.

Built for Dependable Trail Performance

The DT-02 chassis is favoured for its resilience and low maintenance requirements. With a gear-driven 2WD layout and friction dampers, the Sand Rover offers steady traction and composure over bumps. The ABS plastic body holds up to knocks and the painted driver figure helps sell the retro look while keeping the model robust for regular use.

Yes. The chassis can accept aftermarket motors and an appropriate ESC, but check space, pinion/spur gearing and battery fit before upgrading.
The model is typically used with a 7.2V pack. Standard NiMH packs are common, and low-voltage LiPo options can be used if the ESC and battery tray are compatible.
The kit does not include LED lights out of the box, but the body and chassis offer mounting locations for aftermarket light kits and cosmetic upgrades.
