Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter 1/10 Monster Truck Kit - Twin Motor 4WD  [58396]

Overview of the Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter

The Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter brings a twin-motor layout to the classic monster truck formula, giving precise torque distribution for varied terrain. This kit is built for hobbyists who appreciate hands-on assembly and tuning for better performance on loose or rough surfaces.

Twin Motor 4WD Layout

The core of the Dualhunter is its front-and-rear motor setup that drives all four wheels. By splitting propulsion between two Type 540 motors, the design improves traction and control while the centrally mounted servo delivers accurate steering input for technical sections.

Purpose-Built Off-Road Chassis

Styled aggressively, the polycarbonate body is tough enough to handle jumps and rough ground. Large wheels fitted with 130mm spike tyres provide grip on dirt and grass, and the double wishbone suspension with friction dampers helps smooth out impacts for confident handling.

Serviceability and Upgrades

Both front and rear gearboxes are factory assembled but removable, making maintenance and part swaps straightforward. Builders can change gearing, swap different motors, or fit aftermarket parts to tailor performance to their local tracks.

Electronics and Kit Requirements

The kit includes the TEU-103BK FET ESC built for twin Type 540 motors, but you will need to supply a 2-channel R/C transmitter, battery, charger, and paint to finish the model.

The Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter suits RC fans who want a robust, tuneable kit that performs well off-road and accepts a range of upgrades for faster lap times or tougher terrain.
