If you live for RC dirt tracks and backyard bashing, the Tamiya Sand-Viper mounted on the DT-02 chassis brings practical performance in a tidy 1/10 package. Suited to club racers and casual hobbyists alike, this kit balances solid handling with a race-inspired look thanks to its new body and rear wing.
The DT-02 layout is prized for toughness and simple tuning. The Sand-Viper uses a transverse-mounted Type RS540 motor to give smooth power delivery, while a 4-wheel double wishbone layout with oil dampers soaks up rough surfaces for dependable control during spirited runs.
Full ball bearings are fitted throughout to reduce friction and prolong service life. The double-ended shafts in the suspension upper arms let you fine tune camber for better cornering. A fully sealed differential gear gearbox keeps grit out, helping the drivetrain run consistently over time.
Front grooved tyres and spiked rear tyres provide a good balance of steering and drive on loose surfaces. Race-style dish wheels improve the look and work with the tyre setup to deliver traction across varied off-road terrain. This setup makes the Sand-Viper a solid choice for gravel, dirt and light sand.
The Tamiya Sand-Viper is a practical, well engineered buggy for enthusiasts who want a tunable 1/10 off-roader that is straightforward to maintain and enjoyable to drive.
