Tamiya 58502-60A Off-Road Performance Overview

The Tamiya 58502-60A is a 1/10 electric buggy kit that showcases Tamiya quality in a compact package. It combines a tough build with nimble handling to suit hobbyists who enjoy both assembly and trail running.

Sturdy Chassis and Customisable Bodywork

The core of the model is an ABS bathtub chassis that keeps weight low while providing strength for rough use. A rear-mounted motor with rear-wheel drive focuses drive where traction counts. The unpainted white resin body ships ready for paint so builders can finish it using Tamiya TS sprays, and included side mirror parts add scale detail.

Suspension Tuned for Loose Surfaces

The car uses a 4-wheel independent double wishbone setup to handle varied terrain, with C.V.A. oil-filled shocks for controlled damping. Monocoque-style lower arms boost durability. Front tyres use a three-rib pattern for stability, while the rear tyres combine spikes and an X-shaped tread for traction on loose ground.

Protected Drivetrain for Reliable Running

The gearbox on the 58502-60A is fully enclosed to keep grit out of the gears, reducing wear and keeping performance consistent during off-road runs.

Scale Detail with a Driver Figure

A seated driver figure is included to enhance the model's appearance on the track, giving the buggy a finished, authentic look.
