Tamiya 58324 - 1/10 RC Volkswagen Touareg Dakar Rally Kit - CC-01 Off-Road Replica  [58324]

Dakar Rally Heritage Captured in Scale: Tamiya Touareg

RC builders who want a faithful, buildable tribute will appreciate the Tamiya 58324 - 1/10 RC Volkswagen Touareg Dakar Rally Kit. This detailed model echoes the 2004 Volkswagen Touareg that impressed in the Dakar by combining rugged durability with a purposeful desert design.

What Inspired the Model

The Dakar Rally pushes cars and crews through extreme conditions, and the 2004 Touareg proved its mettle with a strong debut result. Key race features like enlarged air intakes and cockpit airflow systems informed the scale details reproduced on this kit to reflect real-world desert needs.

Chassis and Drive Layout

Built on the tough CC-01 ladder-frame bathtub chassis, this Touareg replica emphasises durability and scale appearance. The 4WD layout with a front-mounted motor drives a universal joint propeller shaft connecting front and rear gearboxes for reliable traction across varied surfaces.

Ride and Handling

Oil-filled dampers and a capable suspension setup - double wishbone up front and a 4-link rigid rear - deliver controlled travel and impact absorption. High-grip tyres, differential gearing, and the option to lock the rear diff give hobbyists setup choices for loose sand, gravel or harder-packed trails.

The Tamiya 58324 Volkswagen Touareg suits modelers who value authentic race styling paired with a dependable CC-01 platform, making it a solid choice for collectors and those who like to test setup changes on off-road courses.
