Few buggies carry the same legacy as the Vanquish, and the reissue as the VQS 58686 brings that retro appeal back to the pits. This version keeps the familiar silhouette while integrating refinements that make it more practical for todays hobbyists and collectors.
The VQS keeps the iconic body lines but adds practical upgrades to meet modern expectations. The pre-cut, pre-painted polycarbonate shell cuts build time, and aluminium front uprights plus universal shafts adapted from the Avante 2011 re-issue enhance toughness and steering response.
Underneath the body the classic bathtub chassis offers strong protection and predictable handling. It houses planetary gear differentials and is designed to run the included 540-size brushed motor smoothly, while offering space to adjust setup for different surfaces.
The kit includes an Electronic Speed Control (ESC) so you are close to running after assembly. You will need a 2-channel radio, a steering servo, and a 7.2-volt battery pack with a compatible charger to complete the setup.
The Tamiya VQS 58686 provides a rewarding blend of nostalgia and functionality. Its familiar styling combined with selective modern parts makes it a solid choice for builders who want classic looks without sacrificing on-track performance.
