Tamiya 58507 DB02 Leonis 1/10 Shaft-Drive 4WD Buggy Kit  [58507]

Precision Engineering of the Tamiya 58507 DB02 Leonis

The Tamiya 58507 DB02 Leonis goes beyond a typical 1/10 scale R/C buggy, combining solid engineering with racetrack-inspired packaging. The DB02 platform uses a shaft-driven 4WD layout for consistent power delivery, while the motor sits horizontally and close to the chassis center to sharpen handling.

TOM'S Styled Body and Cab Forward Flow

The Leonis sports an aerodynamic polycarbonate shell penned by TOM'S, featuring a cab-forward silhouette that smooths airflow to the rear wing. That bodywork helps cut drag and keeps stability high across varied off-road surfaces.

Drivetrain Architecture and Suspension Setup

The DB02 drivetrain routes torque through four bevel gears and propeller shafts to front and rear gearboxes, anchored by a one-piece die-cast motor mount beside the spur and bevel gears. Ball differentials in the gearboxes improve traction feel, while the DB01-derived 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA shock units soaks impacts and keeps the Leonis composed. Compatibility with DB01 option parts means plenty of scope for upgrades and tuning.

Whether you race, bash, or fine-tune at home, the Tamiya 58507 DB02 Leonis delivers a balanced platform for both setup work and rewarding on-track performance.
