Tamiya 58524 1/10 Stadium Thunder Kit - Retro Truggy Build  [58524]

Classic Truggy Reborn: The Tamiya 58524 Stadium Thunder

The Tamiya 58524 Stadium Thunder brings back the look and driving feel of the 1996 original, built on the same sturdy chassis used by the Blitzer Beetle and Stadium Blitzer. It delivers a satisfying build experience and a vintage livery on a modern production kit, appealing to fans who value period styling and practical performance.

Build and Drive Appeal

At 1/10 scale this kit is tailored for builders who enjoy putting models together and taking them off road. The polycarbonate body carries the classic 1996 graphics, while the rear-wheel-drive layout and ABS bathtub chassis create a straightforward, dependable platform for both newcomers and experienced hobbyists.

Suspension and Tire Setup

This model uses a four-wheel double wishbone suspension with Tamiya C.V.A. shocks to tame uneven terrain. A fully enclosed gearbox protects gears from grit, and the gear-type differential smooths power delivery. The front tyres use three ribs for steering bite and the rear tyres combine spikes with an X-style pattern for solid traction.

Motor and Speed Control

The kit is specified for a 540-J brushed motor, offering reliable low-maintenance power. An electronic speed controller is not included, allowing builders to choose an ESC that matches their driving preferences and battery choice.

The Tamiya 58524 Stadium Thunder fits collectors and weekend off-road drivers who appreciate a classic silhouette combined with straightforward, serviceable engineering.
