The Tamiya 58416-60A Rising Fighter remains a landmark 1/10 scale off-road buggy with styling that echoes The Hornet and The Grasshopper. At 418mm long, 236mm wide and 187mm high, it balances compact footprint with practical handling for park and trail runs.
The front independent swing axles and a rolling rigid rear suspension give the Rising Fighter confident control over ruts and loose surfaces. Large friction dampers soak up bumps, and the bevel differential helps keep drive force balanced to the wheels for predictable traction.
The semi-monocoque structure strengthens the chassis without adding unnecessary complexity, making repairs and servicing easier. A fully enclosed gearbox keeps gears free of grit and extends the life of the drive train.
Grooved front tyres and rear spike tyres provide good bite on dirt and grass. The kit ships with a 540 motor installed, but no Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) is included, so you can pick an ESC that suits your driving style. You will need a 7.2V battery, compatible charger, and a 2-channel radio to run the buggy.
For those who appreciate a simple, robust 2WD buggy, the Rising Fighter delivers a classic driving feel and a platform that is easy to upgrade. Its durable layout makes it a practical choice for both newcomers and seasoned RC hobbyists.
