Classic 1/10 Off-Road Buggy Reworked for Today's Tracks

In RC circles the Tamiya 58336-60A is a nostalgic icon reborn. First released in the 1980s, this 1/10 scale 2WD buggy returns with the same spirit and updated details that make it easy to enjoy for both long-time fans and new builders.

Proven Handling Across Mixed Surfaces

This buggy is set up to tackle loose dirt and harder packed surfaces with confidence. Its lightweight ABS resin bathtub chassis gives a solid, repairable base, while the sealed gearbox and oil-filled rear dampers help keep handling predictable. The RS 540 brushed motor supplies steady power for spirited runs.

Tuning Advice from Experienced Builders

To tailor performance try different damper oils and tweak the suspension geometry for your local track. Adding ball bearings will lower drivetrain friction and improve throttle response. Regular checks of gears and joints will keep lap times consistent.

A Collector Friendly, Rideable Classic

This kit works well as a shelf piece for collectors and as a genuine runner for club meets. Its period look appeals to retro fans, while the buildable layout invites upgrades and ongoing maintenance.

The Tamiya 58336-60A re-release keeps the character of the original while giving hobbyists a dependable platform to restore, run, and modify for modern track conditions.

No, the kit requires assembly and does not include an ESC, battery, or radio gear. Plan to source electronics and a compatible battery before running.
Yes, you can fit modern motors and ESCs if you adapt mounting and battery placement. Check dimensions and cooling needs when upgrading to brushless setups.
Clean dust from the gearbox and dampers, inspect belts and gears for wear, and re-lubricate moving parts. Re-tighten screws and check for any cracked plastic after hard impacts.
Spiked rear tyres and ribbed fronts, like the kit supplies, are a good starting point. If tracks are looser, experiment with softer compounds or larger lugs for better traction.
