Tamiya 58404 - 1/10 DB01 Baldre Off-Road Buggy Kit  [58404]

Tamiya 58404 DB01 Baldre Chassis Overview

The Tamiya 58404 - 1/10 DB01 Baldre RC Buggy Chassis Kit showcases Tamiya engineering focused on a reliable, high-performance platform. The design builds on the DB01 lineage to offer a durable chassis that suits both newcomers assembling their first competitive buggy and experienced drivers refining setup and handling.

Balanced Layout and Protected Drivetrain

The DB01 Baldre positions heavy items such as the battery and motor toward the centre for predictable weight distribution and improved cornering stability. Its fully enclosed twin-belt 4WD system, using lessons from the TRF501X, keeps dust and debris away from moving parts to preserve smooth operation under rough conditions.

Tuned Suspension and Robust Construction

With double wishbone suspension moulded in durable ABS resin, the chassis gives a wide tuning window for different surfaces and driving styles. The kit includes full ball bearings across key points to lower friction and improve drivetrain efficiency for consistent lap times.

Kit Contents and What You Still Need

The package includes a lightweight polycarbonate body with rear wing, wheels, tyres, and a Type 540 motor so builders have most mechanical parts out of the box. You will still need a 2-channel transmitter, ESC, running battery, and charger to complete the rig and get it on track.

The Tamiya 58404 DB01 Baldre balances race-inspired features with a kit-build experience that rewards setup work. It appeals to hobbyists who value a sealed drivetrain and a chassis that responds well to tuning adjustments.
