Tame Rough Tracks with the Desert Gator

The Tamiya 58344 1/10 RC Desert Gator Kit is built to handle rough trails and bumpy circuits while remaining straightforward to set up and run. Its DT-02 platform gives a predictable feel that appeals to hobbyists who want dependable performance without a complex build.

Chassis and Balance

The DT-02 chassis used on this model places the radio unit and battery centrally to improve balance and steering stability. The lightweight polycarbonate shell and rear wing help keep the centre of gravity low while keeping the body resilient against impacts.

Suspension and Tuning

A full double wishbone suspension with oil-filled dampers equips the Desert Gator for mixed surfaces, providing controlled weight transfer and consistent tyre contact. Adjustable upper arms let drivers tweak camber for sharper cornering or smoother straight-line stability.

With solid component layout and easy upgrade paths, the Tamiya 58344 Desert Gator is a versatile kit for experienced drivers and newcomers who plan to personalise their setup for varied off-road conditions.

Assembly is straightforward for builders with basic RC experience, with clear instructions and modular parts that make the process manageable.
Standard 540-size brushed or brushless motors fit, and compact servos and receivers tuck neatly into the central electronics tray for balanced weight distribution.
All-terrain knobbly tyres or soft compound off-road tyres work well; choose tread and compound based on loose sand or hardpack surfaces.
No, the kit is sold without radio gear or battery so you can pick components that match your driving preferences and budget.
