Classic Frog Returns with Modern Upgrades

For many club racers and collectors, the Tamiya 58354 is more than a kit; it brings a classic race feel with modern engineering. This 1/10 scale 2WD buggy updates Tamiya's pioneering layout, pairing an ABS resin space frame with refined suspension to tackle rough tracks and backyard runs.

Precision Dampers for Consistent Control

Redesigned side aluminum dampers, based on TRF shock concepts, improve composure over uneven terrain. These dampers help the buggy stay planted through corners and landings, giving steadier handling across lap after lap.

Rugged Drivetrain for Low Maintenance

The reworked dog-bone style drivetrain retains original rubber boots for protection, delivering a durable yet efficient power transfer. It moves torque from a Type 540 motor cleanly to the wheels, offering reliable performance in different conditions.

Inboard Suspension Tuned for Impact

The inboard spring-type front suspension, matched with horizontally mounted oil dampers, soaks up bumps while keeping the chassis settled. This setup is aimed at aggressive off-road driving without losing composure.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Motor: Type 540 motor
  • Tires: Straight ribbed racing front tires, high-grip rear spiked tires
  • Wheels: Realistic 3-piece type
  • ESC: Not Included

Tamiya 58354 blends vintage character with practical modern parts, making it ideal for collectors and club racers who want a durable 2WD platform with precise handling.

Assembly is straightforward for someone with basic modelling skills; the kit is modular and well documented, though patience and basic tools are recommended.
Yes, the chassis can accept modern brushless motors and compatible ESCs, but make sure to check dimensions and cooling needs against the available space.
Use polycarbonate paint and mask carefully for crisp lines; thin coats and plenty of drying time will give a durable, race-ready finish.
Tamiya spare parts are widely available through hobby shops and online retailers; keep a list of common wear parts like boots and linkages to maintain uptime.
