Tamiya Super Fighter G Overview and Intent

The Tamiya 58340 Super Fighter G blends rugged construction with approachable performance. Built on the DT-02 platform, this 1/10 scale buggy suits hobbyists who want a dependable 2WD machine that handles trails and club tracks without fuss. The centrally mounted battery layout helps keep the center of gravity low for steadier cornering.

Why the DT-02 Chassis Works for Trail Runs

The DT-02 chassis focuses on simple, effective design for off-road use. Its bathtub frame secures electronics and sheds dirt, while the sealed gearbox reduces maintenance needs after rough sessions. Lightweight but sturdy, the 2WD layout is predictable and easy to set up for different surfaces.

Key Performance Elements to Know

Powered by a standard 540-type electric motor, the Super Fighter G provides steady, tuneable power for varied terrain. Double wishbone suspension with coil spring dampers smooth impacts and keep the tyres gripping. A differential gear helps maintain control through corners, with grooved front tyres and spiked rear tyres giving a reliable balance of steering and traction.

Practical Setup and Upgrade Notes

Owners can tweak tyre compounds and suspension settings to match local tracks or backyard runs. The kit accepts common upgrades for electronics and drivetrain parts, making it a good platform for those who enjoy dialing in handling or increasing speed step by step.
