Tackle Rugged Tracks with the Gravel Hound DF-02

RC fans who want a dependable off-road machine will appreciate the Tamiya Gravel Hound. Built on the proven DF-02 platform, this 1/10 scale buggy balances toughness and practical engineering to handle mixed surfaces and trail racing.

DF-02 Chassis for Balanced Handling

The DF-02 layout, with the motor mounted longitudinally, helps lower the centre of gravity and improves stability during fast direction changes. The shaft-driven 4WD transfer delivers steady traction to all wheels so the buggy keeps forward momentum on loose dirt and gravel.

Suspension That Soaks Up Bumps

Four oil-filled dampers and independent suspension front and rear absorb impacts from rough terrain, making the ride smoother and more controllable. Turnbuckle tie-rods let you dial in toe adjustments quickly, while the sealed semi ball bearing gearbox keeps grit out to reduce wear.

Durable Polycarbonate Shell

The Gravel Hound's polycarbonate body blends strength with aerodynamic lines so it resists knocks while staying tidy on the track. The finish is built to handle off-road knocks without adding unnecessary weight.

The kit has a modular layout and clear assembly steps, making it friendly for first-time constructors with basic soldering and mechanical skills.

You can fit higher torque motors, improved differentials, and stronger drive shafts to boost on-track performance while keeping the DF-02 chassis architecture.
Regularly clean the sealed gearbox, check suspension for play, and inspect bearings and drive shafts after dusty or wet runs to extend component life.
